Ada Limón, from The Carrying; “Dead Stars”

What would happen if we used our bodies to bargain / for the safety of others, for earth, / if we declared a clean night, if we stopped being terrified, / if we launched our demands into the sky, made ourselves so big / people could point to us with the arrows they make in their minds,

But sometimes, I swear I hear it, the wound closing like a rusted-over garage door, and I can still move my living limbs into the world without too much pain, can still marvel at how the dog runs straight towards the pickup trucks break-necking down the road, because she thinks she loves them, because she's sure, without a doubt, that the loud roaring things will love her back, her soft small self alive with desire to share her goddam enthusiasm, until I yank the leash back to save her because I want her to survive forever.

from The Leash by Ada Limon

#Ada Limon #The Carrying #tenderness as a lingering touch #witnessing the sublime itself #surrounded by vulnerability #and against the haze of the afternoon the softest light

“I remember we broke into laughter when we saw each other. What was between us wasn’t a fragile thing to be coddled, cooed over. It came out fully formed, ready to run.”

I've never been someone to wish for too much, but now I say, I want to live a long time.
