that last flower poem moved me to tears. wow. WOW.
that entire poem makes me feel so !!!!!!!
#you know how poetry often isn't that interested in telling the full story but instead#picks one specific moment and focuses on what it feels like to inhabit that moment#with such. precision. that you have to carefully read every word#unlike with fiction where the brush strokes are coarser#and you can skim-read. or skip a word or a sentence or even an entire page and the story will still make sense#I think this poem is so incredible for the way it forces you to slow down your reading#to take in this moment together with the poet#I read it and it slows my breathing down#slows my heart down. fills my lungs.#it is a beautiful beautiful poem#and there is so much room left on the page#for the person reading it#like. yea. same boat. moves me to tears
