Quotes by Laura Villareal (?)

“once upon a time i decided love was too much like drowning
made myself an island where if i scream out the ocean swallows
entire cities until i see my suffering is small enough to cradle
before miracles went extinct...”

“… i promised myself never to look into the past
but on perfect summer days i get anxious i want to begin again”

“you look at me like I'm deserving
of real care & devotion, the kind
i've given but never seen up close
until you i didn't know how
to hold a miracle i often think
i need to make my needs small
enough they hide under my giving”
― Laura Villareal, Poems to Carry in Your Pocket
