Lunch Poems: ‘Three Airs’ (c. 1958) by Frank O’Hara

“Yes, I’m drunk. And you’re beautiful. And tomorrow morning, I’ll be sober but you’ll still be beautiful.”

“The real difficulty is to overcome how you think about yourself.”

i went to the top of the mountains

to try & get a glimpse at what god sees.

hope i’d find the answers

to save the world in a tree top.

figured the wind would sway

my body in the right direction.

all i found was nature being she.

there is beauty in the way

every entity harmonizes to create one symphony.

i'm not sure enough to say—

i think god sat down beside me.

as i admired heaven on earth,

a voice amongst the silence

repeated over and over gently,

“everything that you're looking for is within you. just be.”

when i need to recharge,

it is in my solitude that i come alive.

this is where i go when i need the person

that i am on the outside

to be a better reflection of me internally.

it's a time to mourn the past

that i refuse to let hold onto me.

in this seclusion,

i will create & reflect as a means to evolve.

so that when the crowd comes,

i am confident in my stride.

my head is never down.

i will be the drum that plays

when a drummer in a band

has their solo performance to shine.

i planted flowers in you that i will never see bloom.

[becomingsevyn]

every morning i wake

and i paint myself blue

to fit into society's standards of likability.

there are few people

that have seen the blank canvas.

there are even fewer

that don't look at me with pity

for the girl that would never be feel pretty.

— sevyn hale

[becomingsevyn]

i had a talk with the inner-child

who dreamed of being an actress.

turns out it was never about

signing autographs or being on tv.

she told me,

"i just wanted to be anyone else but me.”

“Power”

[apocryphics]

yes, you should feel uncomfortable. yes, it must shock you and strike to your core every time this happens. do not let the repetitive cycle of racial violence numb you to the present, daily suffering of our black brothers and sisters. stop writing and glorifying empathy and tenderness if you are not willing to extend that into practice for your oppressed neighbors of color. stand up.
