Not-Love Is a Season, José Olivarez
[ Text ID: i don’t trust people who don’t know / the freeze of loneliness. the dead / branches abandoned / by the birds still chasing summer. ]

this life gives us only so many hours
to share & how we share, i worry,
is wasteful-Sunday night & the tv on,
so we don't look at each other.
on screen some reality tv stars
threaten to choke each other out.
my love, we are bad television,
happy as we are to hold hands
& eat greasy pizza together
during these small breaths
before Monday arrives like a fist.
— Josè Olivarez, "Sunday Love" in "Promises of Gold" (Henry Holt & Company, February 14, 2023) (via Alive on All Channels)

I killed a plant once because I gave
it too much water.
Lord, I worry that love is violence.

where’s my teenage dream it’s too cold tonight and all my friends are three years away and I don’t want to be individual on my own and I love you it’ll pass but let the rabbit have some bagel but it’s too much water and I worry love is violence but where do I put it and do you make the poets choice and choose the memory but I forgot to text you on your birthday and I could still recognize your laugh anywhere but nothing gold can stay
