[on the phone, at a rainy train station:]

I don’t want this heart—take it away, please.
Can I have another mind instead? No, not a brain. A mind, yes.
A mind. I just want more space for the memories.
Precisely.
There are people I don’t want to forget. Yes, even after they’ve forgotten me.
But there are places too—places I want to revisit without having to leave my bed.
Yes, even when I’m no longer welcome. But there are feelings too.
Like I want to remember what it felt like hearing my favourite song for the first time. Like I want to remember what it felt like diving in the ocean
long before I learned how to swim.
Like I want to remember the way you make me feel, always.
But without the side effects.
No, not the side effects! Like, nausea and fever;
coughing up blood and throwing up; like, this lonesome road
that’s replaced my spine over night, and this heart that now only knows to ache.
That’s all, thank you.

- L. V.

"Autumn" by Henri Fantin-Latour (French, 1836-1904)

What
is there
to be feared
of the dead when
every day the living
devours the living?
Meanwhile, the dead
does nothing but rest;
mouths shut, arms
crossed. And who
else is easier to
blame than
the quiet
ones?

- L. V.

Poetic Surgery

I lay you down under the sun
where god can see you.

Someone hands me a scalpel
and I make the first incision—
right at the soft spot between
the third verse and the fourth.

You bleed. You open up like a flower
at the hands of a Summer child.
I have poetry in place of bandages
so I plaster the silence with free

verse because apart from being myself,
I’ve also grown tired of being locked up.
Years from now, they’ll finally find
a cure for our kind of sadness.

Until then, we’ll drink our pepper
mint tea and write lousy poetry.

- L. V.

L. V., i found this poem as the peppermint tea circled down the drain
