Once she could have held anything steady
More quotes by Lisa Suhair Majaj
Bless poetry books that cross oceans
in battered envelopes,
bearing small flames of words.
No matter how far you've come, remember:
the starting line is always closer than you think.
Part of it hides behind the headlines
where this shard of the story will never be told.
These words are the weight
cupped in our palms:
the small broken note of freedom.
The distance between one breath and another
is like the miles starlight travels to reach
my dreams.
