Sharing Poetry: Daphne Gottlieb, "Why Things Burn" →
sharingpoetry:
My fire-eating career came to an end when I could no longer tell when to spit and when to swallow. Last night in Amsterdam, 1,000 tulips burned to death. I have an alibi. When I walked by your garden, your hand grenades were in bloom. You caught me playing loves me, loves me not,…

dear, dear M: you go through friends like other people go through tissues, sneezes, days of the week, but it’s not anybody’s fault. if anything, it’s from books about the multiverse—all those things you used to read about parallel worlds, about an infinite number of places and possibilities and philosophies all coincidentally existing at the same time, making you frantic. making you sweat....

Nobody ever honestly says, “I’m going to forget this on purpose.” How it really happens is like this: gradually, accidentally, unintentionally - unknowingly.

nikki grimes, "waiting"
