an incomplete list of poetry quotes i can’t ever forget about:
·”but I’m still time zones away / from who I was the day before we met.” from “Photograph”, Andrea Gibson.
·”Will I be something? / Am I something? / And the answer comes: / You already are. / You always were. / And you still have time to be.” from “Here Am I”, Anis Mojgani.
·”I will love you when you are a still day. / I will love you when you are a hurricane.” from “Mouthful of Forevers”, Clementine von Radics.
·”The dirt and the dust are not / weak. I could build a house / out of you; you are the roof / when I rain.” from a poem by Liz (@clearwindowpanemoon).
·”I loved you head over handles / like my first bicycle accident - / before the mouthful of gravel and blood, / I swore we were flying.” from “Cycle of Abuse”, Sierra DeMulder.
