This is one of those poems that makes you hold your breath. Literally chills all over my body. Sending all my love. You have such amazing poetry and I'm so glad to finally have your book. 💛🌻
This is one of my favorite of hers. Something about her closing line, “lord, if we’re not a family of good intentions and cut off hands”
“My parents haven’t kissed on the lips since the 90’s,” took me OUT.
This is one of those poems where you don't know what it means but you know you love it
She's mourning a brother who took his own life, which is how I interpreted it.
I was honored enough to see this live when she first performed it. It was one of the most beautiful and sad moments - just adore her.

I don’t think my parents ever kissed, it was an arranged marriage. I’ve gotten used to them now though.
Please, marry me.
