    I didn’t know that the war was still inside you, that there was a war to begin with, that once it enters you it never leaves—but merely echoes

    “
    Tell me the story
    again,
    of the sparrows who flew from falling Rome,
    their blazed wings.
    How ruin nested inside each thimbled throat
    & made it sing
    —OCEAN VUONG, SEVENTH CIRCLE OF EARTH.

    Show me how ruin makes a home
    out of  hip bones. O mother,
    O minutehand, teach me
    how to hold a man the way thirst
    holds water. Let every river envy
    our mouths. Let every kiss hit the body
    like a season.

    don’t be afraid.
    The end of the road is so far ahead
    it is already behind us.
    Don’t worry. Your father is only your father
    until one of you forgets. Like how the spine
    won’t remember its wings
    no matter how many times our knees
    kiss the pavement…
    get up. The most beautiful part of your body
    is where it’s headed. & remember,
    loneliness is still time spent
    with the world…
