quadra - t. #poetry #poems #nostalgia
A poem on a green background. It says, “the island was too small, for salty seaweed scent this thick (the kind you felt in your hands, like a bucket of ocean water, blue green in the mornings, a void in the evenings). i look for it, when the trees are asleep, but the winds carried me too far away, wheee the lakes are thick, with the scent of solitude, sliding through my fingers”.

wildfire season - t. #poetry #climate
A poem on a green background. It reads “i want to believe, the mountains will always look out for us, even as they burn, for days and days until, all we have left, are memories of lush paths and , a riot of wildflowers and bramble, and the sound of our quiet feet, on ancient soil”.

haunting, or memories - t. #poetry
A poem on a green background. It says, “i’m never alone: not when their ghosts haunt me, in the coffee i drink, in the spring rolls i wrap, in my fingers knitting a sock, the face i see every morning. i keep them all with me: in my anger and temper, and reluctance to try new things. their love reaches across time, pinching piercing from the grave, too-small shoes i can’t throw away”

19 stanley park one rainy afternoon - t. #poetry #Vancouver
A poem on a green background. It reads “soaked, dark leafy sidewalks, tiger balm and must spices, in overheated buses, colours outside the lines, blurry on the thick windows; she smiled at me, “sit here” her hands patted a space for me, in the heart of a city, where sons and daughters leave, rejected” “her eyes were wide, and each stop she looked at me, nodded as if, “it’s rough, but you’ll be ok” and this is enough: a strangers assurance, in the heart of a city, where whining buses, shelter us all”

tristeza, ii - t. #poetry #anxiety
A poem on a green background. It reads “it’s all too bright, sun glinting and sharp, and everything is loud, these falling eyes, and whispered doubts, i wear like cloaks, in the white hot summer, a persistent saturation, in each photograph, thrumming electricity, a tang in the water, this hideous incandescence, orange and overexposed, deafening desert”

mid-autumn - t. #poetry
A poem on a green background. It reads “the moon cakes are delicious, this time of year before, the leaves fully die - we shared them over, dusty library books, on stolen napkins with plastic forks, we shared them in the dark, fingers cold on the sidewalk, the moon cakes are delicious, this time of year after, our love died - and i wonder, how the salted egg tastes, wherever you are.”

chinatown best friends - t. #poetry
A poem on a green background. It reads “we loved to roam in chinatown, through dank alleys, along dusty sidewalks, walking nowhere and everywhere, wondering where our place was, hands sticky sweet with dragon’s beard, dreams balanced delicately just so, out of reach, ready for tomorrow”

to all the friends i loved - t. #poetry #friendship
a poem that reads: “sometimes i find you in corners, in forgotten pages, the back of my closet, short texts and notes. how strange, once i knew your face, your hard planes, and all your softness, all your dark and light, cool nights and late walks. how strange, to have known you once and now, you’re a mystery but, i hope you’re happier now.”
