“Like the yaks that never leave their Himalayan homeland, wolves stay in the forest, the feral forest. People who became dogs only remember the forest they left when they are castrated and discarded. I should head for the forest, into the scent of wild grass. … There, I will rise when the sun rises, fall asleep when the sun sets, and gaze at the dewdrops forming and evaporating very slowly.”
― Alexandria Ryu, Ink Garden: Poems

“In June, days and nights chase one another.”

“how is it so easy for you
to be kind to people he asked
milk and honey dripped
from my lips as i answered
cause people have not
been kind to me”
― Rupi Kaur, Milk and Honey

“When universes disappear every minute, when I go back to silence.”
