She's strong for others
their rock they say
but when it comes
to the end of day
Closes her door
To cry alone

zephyr / enviable / shriek/
At first, like a zephyr
her voice quietly
rides the western wind
Native tongue
laced with grief & pain
heard.
Then cherished
then adored
For always ever always
a thread of hope
drowns shrieks
of despair
allowing
Love
to thrive

This class from Alina Stefanescu @aliner - sign up! As a proud alum of her teaching, the insight and power of this deeply lettered poet are unlike anything you've ever experienced.
I'd take another course from Alina regardless of topic!

The risk is existing in the first place.
Enough with the close-ups,
I’m ready for some far-aways.

I love when skillful poets / storytellers capture a whole story by relating a single detail like Arthur Sze does here.

"A poem only becomes poetry when its structure
Is made not of words but forces.
The force is poetry.
Everyone knows what poetry is, but who can say it?
Its nature is to be felt, but never apprehended."

Kudos YOU Sophia!
