“But mostly we’re forgetting we’re dead stars too, my mouth is full/ of dust and I wish to reclaim the rising—/ to lean in the spotlight of streetlight with you, toward/ what’s larger within us, toward how we were born./

Look, we are not unspectacular things,/ we’ve come this far, survived this much. What/ would happen if we decided to survive more?”

“All the world is moving, even sand from one shore to another
is being shuttled. I live my life half afraid, and half shouting
at the trains when they thunder by. This letter to you is both.”
― Ada Limon, The Carrying

“i’m sorry i don’t have anything left in me i’m sorry all of me wasn’t enough for you”
― Michaela Angemeer, Please Love Me at My Worst

“i am growing flowers
in the darkest part of my heart
for if light ever enters
it would know where to start”
― Noor Unnahar, Yesterday I Was the Moon
