Words by her

My duality

I'm not good with hellos or goodbyes, nor do I believe that connections through screens are truly necessary. I just want to build genuine relationships.

So when someone asked me, "Why not share your words with me?" I paused. I don’t want to, and likely never will, because poetry is my healing.

Like the plants growing in my room, I won’t cut the flowers before they bloom— and that’s my duality.

The flames of the sun shatter any hopes at reprieve from the heat. Oh, my love, let me hide between your bones in hopes of cooling my roaring soul, in hopes of not burning eachother with the intensity of my atrocious love. Only heaven knows how many nights have been needed for the ashes of my rage to heal the forest inside my being.

- Hinojosa, S.
