Escaping the Body by Chloe N. Clark
3.0
“someone told me once that i slept like i
was lost in space, arms flung out to catch
the debris from dying stars,
and i think they meant it as an insult,
or a you-need-to-take-up-less-room,
but i always heard it as the highest compliment because i've always wanted to spend
my nights arcing past planets,
tasting the solar system”
“your grandmother told you, once,
that cleaning is the best way to
remember you're alive: the traces
through dust, the evapor-
ating smear of soap on glass.”
—i really liked this poetry collection! the poems felt very personal, i enjoyed how beautifully they were written and the imagery allowed me to create my own meanings for them :')
