Dear April,

We have spent such a long time standing in place, only moving forward when propelled to. The past might continue to splinter us here and there, but we are no longer young and naive to remain still and fractured in our little corner of the world. Another year has rolled by since the universe gave birth to us, and we’re still just coasting through the earth looking for warm bodies to wrap ourselves around. We wander around often blindly like our eyes still feel the sting from the voices who told us we were too much yet not enough. Our backs hunched and still full of knives. Our hands covered with burned lovers and still questioning how to stop the tremors. The young years have crippled us, left us mad and doubtful right in the margin between an old memory and a blooming possibility. You’re going to survive all of this, you urged quietly to my wrists, lips pressed against the life lining the stretch of my arm. And it all feels kismet, the way my bones turn cotton soft and the way my eyes start becoming unflinching. Listen, I used to only know how to dissolve so quietly that no one else can feel it, but I think I’m learning how to settle less and expand more.
