I once read that humans are like cold porcupines. When they get close to each other for warmth,their quills sting. They pull apart,shiver from the cold,and then inch closer once again,only to get pricked. It’s a cruel dance,really.

The Pain We Choose
The kind that teaches you, shapes you, and reminds you of what it means to be human.

It’s hard to overstate the scale of death in Darfur. “These are people being shot in the back and shot while they’re trying to escape. It’s as bad as it could possibly get,” a former Africa analyst for the C.I.A. said. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/g4dHaA

I will bring you happy flowers from the mountains, bluebells,
dark hazels, and rustic baskets of kisses.
I want
to do with you what spring does with the cherry trees.
