"I imagine the gods saying, We will / make it up to you. We will give you / three wishes, they say. Let me see / the squirrels again, I tell them...

Let me at least fail at my life ... Let me fall / in love one last time, I beg them. Teach me mortality, frighten me / into the present. Help me to find / the heft of these days. That the nights / will be full enough and my heart feral."

oh man 🧍🏻‍♀️
