To you whom I admire
The one who smiles
and dances
in the sunshine
face toward the sky
covered warmly
with joy and peace
You’re
my dream
for every sunny day
and rainy spring
fresh, bringing with you new flowers
fragrant, to remember every moment
Gardenia
Lilac
Camellia
Our story
I dream
that you’re my
new love
forever

making space
Since the only thing that might pull us back up is caring, it only makes sense that here, long after I’ve let my anger born of heartbreak and grief misplace, multiply, misdirect itself, let the enormity of my solitude turn into something I don’t know how to dispute with, something thick and heavy and suffocating, let the coldness thrash and fight under my skin, deeper still, in between the arches of my organs; here where the ground is always close and the fall is easy and I surrender to it often, lie without purpose for hours, it only makes sense that it is here, I decide to show up and surrender to the possibilities of the night. Show up to those who I deserted. Drawn to the sense of accomplishment, something I haven’t felt in a while, to memory of finished dish sending its aroma into the world and with it, wrapping the room with a strong sense of sweet nostalgia, I get up and decide to cook. I pick up my phone, type a message that reads “Dinner at mine @ 8PM, don’t bring anything” and before my courage deserts me again, drop it in our friends’ group chat, the way one would do when diffusing a bomb in the movies: one eye closed, snip at the wire, hoping for the best.

Your piece makes me think of a breeze, spreading seeds, carrying the scent of beautiful flowers, cleansing, warming, cooling, refreshing, comforting, yet can feel like it's going right through you. I'm not very 'poetry literate', but this is what this piece stirred up in meeee.
