 I liked the words,
but I couldn't grasp
the meaning.

5 stars as usual. Against Nostalgia was maybe the most beautiful poem I ever have read. It made me cry 3 lines in and I had to read it again and again.

soooo good! captivating poetry that felt thoughtful, worthwhile, sharp, and well-composed. limón has a tender pulse over language and crafts poems that feel like small fragments of humanity.
