Alphabet Soup
I feel like I am always mourning.
Alexander, Abuelita, Adolescence.

Tell me that grief is just love unending.
All I have ever wanted is to be seen
And sewed, not a darling doll, but
A stitched surrogate creating chaos.
Too many titles to table:
Leon, Sage, too many names,
Too nocturnal. I feel like a moth
Miraculously untouched by flame.
Perhaps this is a poem too personal
To share: a lesson of my lexicon
Languishing with memory lane.
Reader, rip this revelation from me;
For it was always yours.

I get it….I understand
This touches me
“I feel like a moth
Miraculously untouched by flame” lit me up. So many great lines in this, Ariana. And I like how you address the reader, bring us into this more personally.
