somewhere
there is a women in China holding a black umbrella so she
won’t taste the salt of the rain when the sky begins to weep,there is a 17 year old girl who smells like pomegranates and has summer air tight on her naked skin, wrapping around her scars
like veins in a bloody garden, who won’t make it past tomorrow,there is a young man, who buys yellow flowers for the woman
in apartment 84B, who learned braille when he realized she
couldn’t read his poetry about her white neck and mint eyesthere are people watching films,
making love for the first time, opening mail with the
heading of ‘i miss you’, cooking noodles with
organic spices and red sauces, buying lemon detergent,
ignoring ‘do not smoke’ signs, painting murals
of his lips in abandoned warehouses, chewing
the words ‘i love you’ over and over again, swallowing
phone numbers and forgotten birthdays, eating
strawberry pies, drinking white wine off of each
others open mouths, ignoring the telephone,
reading this poemsomewhere
someone is thinking
i’m alone
somewhere
someone finally understands
they never really

poems from my uncles graves (via vzhod)
the difference between a girl that is white and a white girl
girl that is white
- identifies as female
- is caucasian
white girl
- comes to school 15 minutes late with starbucks
- dresses up as a cat for halloween
- wears sunglasses indoors
- wears short shorts with uggs
- says she was born in the wrong generation
- is always singing call me maybe
- thinks shes the only girl who plays video games
- gets offended when people say “nigga” or “gay”
i get it now
I sit before flowers
hoping they will train me in the art
of opening upI stand on mountain tops believing
that avalanches will teach me to let goI know
nothingbut I am here to learn.

My grandpa has Alzheimer’s so he has no idea who my grandma is but everyday for the last three or four months he brings her in flowers from their garden and asks her to run away with him and be his wife and everyday she says she already is and everyday the smile my grandpa gets on his face is the most beautiful heartfelt thing I have ever seen.
