Ada Limón, from “The Hurting Kind,” in The Hurting Kind

[text ID: Before my grandfather died, I asked him what sort / of horse he had growing up. He said, / Just a horse. My horse, with such a tenderness it / rubbed the bones in the ribs all wrong. / I have always been too sensitive, a weeper / from a long line of weepers. / I am the hurting kind. I keep searching for proof.]

You’d rather be a simpler animal. You try to imagine what the bear feels. The seal. The otter. Always a little group of three. You worry they are not, in fact, simpler, but you are sure they are never lonely. You hate your loneliness as you hated yourself as a child. You are bored with your hatred.

— Donika Kelly, from “Little Box,” in Bestiary: Poems
