This tree has been here all this time, and I didn’t notice.  I swear, I’ll try harder not to miss as much: The tree, or how your fingers under still sleep-stunned sheets coaxed all my colors back. I swear, I won’t forget how the fire feels, or all the care you took to light it.

you the garden and the grave

I'd like to take a nap.

But not the nap that's eternal,

a nap where you wake up

having dreamt of falling into

an ease so unknown to you

it looks like a new country.

Let me slip into a life less messy.

Ada Limón;

Bright Dead Things.

Ada Limón, "During the Impossible Age of Everyone," Bright Dead Things

[words-and-coffee]

I’m thirty-five and remember all that I’ve done wrong. Yesterday I was nice, but in truth I resented the contentment of the field. Why must we practice this surrender? What I mean is: there are days I still want to kill the carrots because I can.
