Bright Dead Things: Poems by Ada Limón

emotional reflective sad slow-paced

4.0

                                             Here it is:
the new way of living with the world

inside of us so we cannot lose it,
and we cannot be lost. You and me,

are us and them, and it and sky.
It’s hard to believe we didn’t

know that before; it’s hard to believe
we were so hollowed out, so drained,

only so we could shine a little harder
when the light finally came. 

i'm in love with ada limón 👏

favorites:
  • days of song, days of silence
  • i remember the carrots
  • miracle fish
  • the vine
  • we are surprised
  • the problem with travel
  • the tree of fire
