Ilya Kaminsky, From Deaf Republic: Poems; "A City Like A Guillotine Shivers On Its Way To The Neck"

If there’s anything

                                  that still surprises me

               it’s the fact joy too has weight.

                                                     That at the end of all hurts

there lies another to climb out of

                                  while wearing your own face.

— Natalie Wee, from “After the Atlanta Spa Shootings, We Sat in a Field,” Beast at Every Threshold

Your mind is way more powerful than any circumstances you may experience, you have the power to shift the world with the power of your mind no matter what.

remember who you are
