There Are Poems Inside You Which Paper Can't Handle

Her eyes and words are so icy

Oh but she burns

Like rum on the fire

that time of the month

Sylvia Plath, from a letter featured in The Letters of Sylvia Plath Vol. 1: 1940-1956

We journey towards a home that does not halo our head with a special sun.

Mythical women applaud us. A sea for us, a sea against us.

-Mahmoud Darwish [Unfortunately, It Was Paradise]

She painted her soul like a beautiful sky,

made me sit down and stare at her eternal beauty.
