Detail of "Sower at Sunset" (1888)
by van Gogh

All at once, I was Icarus and I was the moth.
I flew too close to the bright yellow light.
Unlike Icarus, unlike the moth, unfortunately,
I survived.
- L. V.

Detail of "Next to Opera Theater, Etude"
by: Petros Malayan, 1954

There’s a street lamp in my neighbourhood that’s broken

not because it doesn’t light the sidewalk at night

but because it does so in the light of day too—

L. V., i found this poem bathing in moonlight

The day I realised I’m going to be me for a lifetime,
I met Grief.

She was sitting on the curb
just around the corner; face resting on her hands,
elbows on her knees.

When you died, I understood why
people need to grieve.

You see, it’s so close to a year
since the funeral
and the memory of every vein
that runs across the back of your hand
is still crystal clear to me.

Without grief, how could loving someone be possible?

When I die, I don’t want anyone to find the body.
Let’s keep the world guessing.
Is she still alive? Was she ever alive?
Did she drown, fall off a cliff? Did she bleed out, starve?
Did something big and raging devour her whole?
Did she vanish into thin air?
Maybe this is why he called her a mystery.
Was it a murder? An abduction?
Look for a ransom note. Perhaps a suicide note?

The day you realised you are going to be yourself for a lifetime,
I hope you walked around that corner with your head held high;
your shadow, following closely behind.

- L. V.

The Birdwatcher (Detail)

Girl with Starry Dress and Bouquet (Detail)
by Charles Blackman

July wasn’t a poet
but the rain was here, the daffodils told her.

She picked up a pen
and wrote on the walls and on her body
