“you built a fire
hoping it would make me warm,
not realizing i was made of ice.”
― Maahi Patel, Sunflowers at Dusk

“the night we met
it was warm
like it always is
and i was cold
like i always am
and i asked you
if you would ever
want to be rooted
in one place forever
like the mighty mango
and you said to me
(i remember)
that you would cement
yourself in the
pavement if that’s
what it took for the
night to never end.”
― Maahi Patel, Sunflowers at Dusk
