half a lot is more than nothing
I am always half of nothing
I am always dreaming of aortic destabilization
My blood spilling out like a fountain to your attention
No not attention
Half the time, half the pleasure and nothing to show for it
The half measures and half meetings of the people I care about more than 1 1/2 double over
Free the first part and cut me in half
You cut me in half and then
Cut us before I could feel the individual blow. blow up
The fire settles at the bottom, crackling at my feet
I kissed her long and hard in the warm summer night, in the pool we dipped half way

Religious Freedom Granted in 1978
What traditions are you most thankful for and why? Rupi Kaur's Gratitude Writing Prompts 1. Enormous Gratitude for the return of religious freedom for American Indians in 1978. The same year I got into recovery. That year I could smudge, go into the sweat lodge, attend full-moon ceremony, pipe ceremony, wiping of tears ceremony, and others.

Gosh this was so intense and emotional! I loved it so much!
Your story uses basic language to express deep emotions, making it relatable and powerful. The repetition of "half" emphasizes a sense of incompleteness, while imagery like the warm summer night and the pool adds richness to the narrative. Amazing story
Wow! Intense. Must have been one heck of a kiss!
