Let me hide in the house,
witness my grief
I’m not hungry,
stomach bloated to bursting
I have a very straight nose,
it's an altar I place my love on
remember to turn over the garden,
I can’t stop reminiscing
life is an airport gate,
hold my hand, i can’t remember the way home
conversations are easy to start,
I’ve pulled teeth, practicing this
everything is a long-winding mountain road,
where's the exit? everything must end
I made a childish wish,
I wish things lasted forever
libraries are just a thousand possible futures,
courage is a choice
deserts are so quiet,
there's no such thing as desolation
to be an old lady hosting tea parties for children,
trust in a porcelain heart
something in me has aged,
what's the difference between aging and withering?
raindrops on roses,
purple blossoms on ashes
silver regrets, golden hopes
I just want to imagine a future
ocean vuong’s beauty, mary oliver's peace
what will I be filled with?
apple-sweet days, lemon-lonely nights
breathe, blink, breathe, blink,
God promised me peace,
I’m almost there
