Things to come back to when I’m feeling meh

CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE

by Hannah Emerson

Please try to go

to hell frequently

because you will

find the light there

yes yes — please

try to kiss the ideas

that you find there

yes yes — please

try to get that

it is the center

of the universe

yes yes — please

try to help yourself

by kissing the hot hot

hot life that is born

there yes yes — please

try to yell in hell

yes

“Raise your words, not voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.” - Rumi
