And to know it for what it is. At last to know it, to love it for what it is.
And then, to put it away.“

.unhaunted house. by Camila Guerreiro

someday I hope to raise a family
in a place you could not mistake
for any home I’ve ever been in.

Brenna, she says,

there’s no such thing
as an unhaunted house.”

.to see things without attachment. by Camila Guerreiro

.what poetry has taught me. by Camila Guerreiro
Via Flickr:

“what poetry has taught me
is that if a tree falls in a forest
and there’s no one around to cry for it
the other trees will learn how to.
in the wake of another splintering
they will say,

i see you.
i too am growing sideways. ”
- Ashe Vernon.

.the burden of burning. by Camila Guerreiro
Via Flickr:

“Lately I keep things
just to throw them away: practice,
practice.

What I mean is, I’ve had enough
longing, enough of nothing
ever being enough. Look how the earth
shrugs its mountainous shoulders, how the cows don’t blink
unless there’s a fly, how the pavement quits
to dirt without warning, how the river can’t tell
itself from the rain.

Since when can I not
get over anything?
I promise I’ll love you forever
if you please just don’t make me
start now, in the brief dumb calm
of the just-fine.
I want to take her home
but to someone else’s home, or perhaps just send her home
with someone else.

What I mean is, I’m tired
of everything gorgeous. Of the burden
of burning. Of wondering
when. What I mean is, on some nights I miss you so much
that I never want to see you again.”
- Ali Shapiro, If I Leave You Then Maybe I Won’t Have to Miss You So Much.
