If a poet falls in love with you
you will live forever.
Atticus Finch - To kill a mockingbird.

In the midst of conundrums, of 'what ifs.'

*The poet waits quietly to paint the unsaid*
6 million or more flowers to honor the dead

I look for you in the stars,
and in the streets,
and all the people I greet.
I look for you in books of poetry.
