  • Lizzette Canohas quoted3 years ago
    Sometimes I feel like you have to say things out loud

    just to remind the universe

    that you’re still thinking about them.
  • Анастасия Гречанаяhas quoted3 years ago
    I wonder if it is exhausting

    to be a tree.

    To lose something,

    year after year,

    only to trust that it will

    someday grow back.
  • Lizzette Canohas quoted3 years ago
    I have learned Americans love to say you know and then

    stop

    talking.

    They force you to fill in the hard parts,

    the things they are not brave enough to say.
  • Lizzette Canohas quoted3 years ago
    I glance out the window

    at the trees that are

    shedding their final leaves.

    I wonder if it is exhausting

    to be a tree.

    To lose something,

    year after year,

    only to trust that it will

    someday grow back.
  • Lizzette Canohas quoted3 years ago
    America,

    like every other place in the world,

    is a place where some people sleep

    and some people

    other people

    dream.

    I want women like Aunt Michelle
    to understand
    that it is not only women who look like them
    who are free
    who think
    and care about other women.
    That it is possible for two things to look
    similar
    but be completely different.
  • benteskouhas quoted4 years ago
    She must feel it too because I sense the recognition
    in the way her body curls around mine
    like it isn’t only holding me,
    but it’s also holding
    a memory.

    Americans love labels.
    They help them know what to expect.
    Sometimes, though,
    I think labels stop them from
    thinking.
  • benteskouhas quoted4 years ago
    a mama’s ability to say something
    without actually saying it.
