Hi everyone,
Welcome to 365 Days of Poetry & Honesty <3 I hope you’ve had a beautiful week.
Apologies for missing last week’s newsletter, I was struck down with Covid and since then I’ve been feeling a little afraid of myself and forlorn, which is why the newsletter is so late tonight, but hello :) i’m here! & I want to begin with this video of one of my favourite songs by Jeff Buckley & Elizabeth Frazer set to a film called ‘Daisies’ !! I hope you enjoy the poetry, though they are a bit sad this week lol
Monday
it's easier to say goodbye
Tuesday
unbecome // & rise again
Wednesday
& winter appears // i want // the sun to take me
Thursday
air turning into fire
Friday
who can promise me light? sometimes i worry prayers fall on ears that can't listen & really i’m troubled by whether or not God exists and if i mean anything to anyone and any thing. sometimes.
Saturday
why does it hurt to hope ?
Sunday
A poem by Leonard Cohen that makes me want to melt & a poem by Danez Smith that reminds me that I’m not a bad person.
Thank you for reading this week’s newsletter. ❤️
With love,
Phoenix
