L. V., I Found This Poem When You Kept Me Awake ‘til 4 In The Morning

Detail of "Набережная Рей в Базеле в дождь" ("Ray Embankment in Basel in the rain")
Alexandre Benois, 1896

The rain winds up inside me. I rage and I pour. And I drown all at once.

I settle into a gentle tap tap tap at the foot of your bed.

L. V., i found this poem when you kept me awake ‘til 4 in the morning

I finished reading The Book of Strangers and I adore both parts! I've sent you my feedback in another ask. I agree with other Anon about sending a little something as MY thanks to you for your writings. Maybe you have one of those Ko-fi accounts or something? 😊

Thanks so much! You're too kind.

I don't have one. Your feedback is more than enough :)

Because
it’s the only way
I know how to get
closer to you. Because
it takes me by the hand
and we take a stroll from
out of my mind. Because I
fear forgetting because the
people I love are dropping
dead like summer flies or
something poetic like
that, and I am a moth;
the flame leads me
back home. Dear
poet, why do
you write?

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

My mouth says: wouldn’t it be easier if our hearts were like flowers?

On the Balcony (Detail)
Childe Hassam, 1888

Someone asks patiently: what do you mean?

Wouldn’t it be easier if, on certain days, we could just pluck out our heart

like a flower, plant it temporarily in a pot, so we can get on with our day?

Then once we get home, we can plant it right back in its place.

Because today’s one of those days that doesn’t require a heart.

L. V., i found this poem in the midst of an anxiety attack

("Dance at Le Moulin de la Galette")

Words by L. V.:

there is comfort in being alone
and being sad
not a lot of people around you understand this
not a lot of people understand you
look for the people who do
