to learn and recite the words from the best of the best

I want to be
A collection of truths
A vessel of adages
A fountain of proverbs
A time capsule of thought-provoking
Statements
Questions
Facts

to be a brain filled with the thoughts of others while making room for my own to grow and flourish

Diana Jun 2020

your being transcends human comprehension

It’s as if
Every word
Every phrase
Every thought
That escapes your lips
Is something that can be captured
And worthy to frame
Worthy to be quoted
Worthy to be printed and shared in books

Tell a blue bird she is beautiful

Tell a blue bird she is beautiful,
she will say,
I know.

Sweet.

Lavender for Luck

coincidence.

When we chance
upon each other
years later,
you will ask me

do you still write?

and I will answer

of course I do.

you took my heart
with you when you left,
not my hands.

Epiphany

How could he not taste the goodbye
In her kiss,
He thinks
As the street lights splinter
Into prisms through
His tears

He touches his lips,
But the ghost of her
Is already fading.

Refuge

Her rib cage splayed
and knees felled away
from each other,
she lay as a refuge,
an invitation:

Climb in, stretch my skin
over yours—
it's warm and dark inside,
you need not come out
until you are ready.
