sorry to chime in but thought i’d bring up ada limón’s someplace like montana where she also calls her friend by the name - not as blatantly about friendship, but it is about making plans/dreams with friends even if you end up in different paths. one of my favourite poems ever <3

YES i love this poem too!!! the ending especially made me go ! the first time i read it. to paraphrase ada limón i love the way people love <3

hi! i'm not sure if you already did this, but could you do a web weaving about the eldest daughter/ child (as a parental figure, taking care of younger siblings, etc.), but it doesn't have to be specifically about those things. thanks :)

“The ghazal is the poetry of two kinds of love- earthly and divine: the love of man for woman (or some other human beloved), and the love of man for God. (Once again, the Western student is disconcerted to find that the technical term for earthly love is majāzī, “symbolic”, and that for mystic love is haqīqī, “real”.)”
