Hi! I think there was a poem that you wrote some time ago, I'd really like to read it again. It was about grief, and I believe there was a line to the effect of:
"The world is not less because you are not in it,
But the world is less without you"
I think there was also a line about the passing of seasons that mentioned plums ;; I hope I'm not crazy or mistaken. Love your work!
I think this is probably the one you're looking for!

When I say you were too young to go I mean the stars had not yet fallen. I mean there were rivers that had not yet carved themselves canyons. I mean I can count the years you were here. When I say you were too young I mean there were still stories I never got to tell you. I mean there were joints in my body then that had not yet ached. I mean the orchid on my desk has been nothing but a green stick for weeks but just today it bloomed. You would care about that but you are not here to tell. When I say you were too young I mean I was. I mean I did not want to know that kind of quiet, not yet, not sitting there in my fuzzy socks, reading a string of texts and truths I did not want to believe in. I dreamed last week it was a lie. We went out to lunch. You were skinny and sun brown and sat sideways in your chair. I got coffee and you had salad with figs, and then I woke up. When I say you were too young to go I mean I miss you. I mean you were a light on this earth. I mean starlight comes across millions of light years of vacuum and silence. I mean when things get big you measure distance in terms of time spent. I mean the older I get the farther I get from you. -ejl.

Season of love
Pink day
I think I'd rather
Fade away
What happened
To the unromantic sway
Of my aromantic
Green tinted days
.
SAD and
Tangled up inside
This Valentine's
I'll wash away in the tide
Stay in bed
Until everything feels fine
Queerly confident
Slipping away with my pride

“you’re a writer, right?”
me, staring at the one sentence i’ve managed to add in the last hour and the 12 open tabs on the specifics of shoes in 1845 Ireland: In theory.

Don't make the mistake of being so understanding and forgiving that you overlook the fact that you're being disrespected.

the dream of the quiet year
to be joy
to be the sunlight on the leaves
to not know fear
to wear fear like a pair of sturdy boots
to leave them muddied at the door
to rest by the fire
to rest—to open your eyes to a new day
to carry a new day in your bones
to breathe in the cold air
to turn breath to song
to see the irises reach up
to reach up
to reach up
to reach
-ejl.

The worst day of the year
Is hailed with paper hearts
Torn from chests
Taped to walls
Chocolate boxes underground
Sh-thunk
Shovelfuls of chalky candy
Tossed aside
Pretty purple fingertips
Bloated ans bent
Ratty hair
Clumped to scalp
What holiday is better
To love the rotted shell left
Than the cracked rib
Pulsing, writhing chest cavity
Worst day of the year

A short comic I made about my experiences as a seasonal worker, and the way places change you.
