21 June 2024: Haven't done a poetry post in a bit, but this one, by Seema Reza arrived in my inbox this morning and just made me sigh. I am always moved by how joy and sadness ride side-by-side or amplify each other through contrast. And my goodness--what a title!
Here's what she says about it in the blurb with the email: "This poem is about how living on the brink of bad news heightens the experience of joy. It’s a poem about aging and falling in love and knowing it will all end. It does all end."
