some excerpts of this year’s poetry;
“I don’t know what people mean
When they say normal
I
Don’t
Know
What that means because
I don’t think I’ve ever been something like that or
Someone
I don’t know what I need because I don’t remember what I lost
I lost things gradually and everything else was so loud that I didn’t hear myself
Normally i
I, am – was – was not
Ever
Someone with the understanding of ordinary”
“when asked how
to describe yourself
your: 1 belonging to or associated with the person or people that the speaker is addressing
and self: a person’s particular nature or personality;
the qualities that make a person individual or
unique
there is no expectation for verses and ballads detailing personal
foods
interests
colors
jokes
strengths : weaknesses
but if it is you
uniquely
then confess your anthems
herald your dimples and freckles, eyes to elbows
hips to lips: ears to fears: hands to bands: smiles to last miles
tongues to pasts seldom sung
and don’t
forget to tell them
your name”
“Giving parts of your heart to others is just like anything else
you can be given.
you can be forgiven
forgotten
and sometimes remembered.
Keep heart,
You’ve still got time.”
