But she lives; for great poets do not die; they are continuing presences; they need only the opportunity to walk among us in the flesh.”

“i told you that you remind me of springtime
and i didn’t lie
i just forgot that seasons are temporary
you can’t tell spring to stay
the same way
you can’t ask the sun not to set
but sometimes
i can close my eyes
and remember the feeling of sunlight
the smell of a fresh start
and the sound of birds singing again

that things will be good again
even if it was only for a season”

I also have medals and awards—but that’s because I wasn’t afraid of dying. I didn’t care! It was even something of an out. They’d have buried me with honors. And the government would have paid for it.”
