I spent a part of this afternoon reading your poems by my window and felt my bones hollow out and skin lifting from my tendons (I promise it is a good thing). Thank you for your words, your voice, your thoughts. They are so important.

You’re so very welcome. Thank you for this message.

5000letters:

thousands of feet up in the sky and only thinking of you, the soft shoulder-hollow that fits my cheek, the notched spine,

always murmuring nonsense in your sleep into the night – longing and longing

5000letters:

spend so much time saying “wish you were here” maybe i’ve used up all my wishes and maybe the ground will listen and close us right up against each other and i’ll fall straight into your bed and into your skin, just like that

“That we might walk out into the woods together,
and afterwards make toast
in our sock feet, still damp from the fern’s
wet grasp, the spiky needles stuck to our
legs, that’s all I wanted, the dog in the mix, 
jam sometimes, but not always. But somehow,
I’ve stopped praising you. How the valley
when you first see it—the small roads back
to your youth—is so painfully pretty at first,
then, after a month of black coffee, it’s just
another place your bullish brain exists, bothered
by itself and how hurtful human life can be.”

- Ada Limón “The Great Blue Heron of Dunbar Road”

“

Here it is:

the new way of living with the world

inside of us so we cannot lose it,

and we cannot be lost.

You and me,

are us and them, and it and sky.

It’s hard to believe we didn’t

know that before.
