Alejandro Zambra, Ways of Going Home (translated by Megan McDowell)

[watchouttheworldisallover]

I don't want you to leave

I want you to stick around

While we lie on the sand

Listening to the waves

A tug on your sleeve to inch you closer

So I can hear

Your heart beat faster as I place my ear to your chest

Maybe we don't talk so much about who we love the most because we're experiencing it

It's messy and lovely and I never want it to end.

Nothing like before

And nothing like it will be tomorrow

A good memory if any.

This is the last stop

It's okay if it takes a little longer than you thought.

It breaks to transform- to evolve - to grow to morph to alter its shape into something stronger.

Maybe it's like a virus or a parasite ever changing and finding new ways to survive because that's what it's made to do. To be penetrated to be conquered. So it can come back 10x stronger. Pounding. Deafening.

It is the strongest muscle, after all

"Here are your tortured poets. All from Mahmoud Darwish to Dr. Refat Alareer to Khaled Juma, these are tortured poets. Tortured by longing for a home they can never return to, tortured by the world they were born to for BEING BORN. Palestine, home to the tortured poets department." [@/folkoftheshelf on X.
