Love poem in spite of everything
after Emily O’Neill for Ash I love you cherrytomatopepperbasil I love you coffeehouse Saturday / cream & sugar I love you broken bag of groceries / overwatered philodendron the hoya carnosa clippings kept alive in a milk glass / I love you too many streetlights to see the stars from our front yard but baby we can build a fire / and the neighbors gather ‘round / I love you boba tea latte pork carnitas / bouquet of blue hydrangea I love you half-moon empanada I love you snowstorm in West Virginia / holding hands inside my sweater / monarch cicada summer & the house we’ve built / the tenderness that lives / in a terra cotta pot / thriving in spite of everything |
