Thank you - for Rupi and Rudy

sometimes
i wish i could
apologize to the
poets i love
for using their
pain like a park bench
a place for me
to rest
and cry
and heal

as if it didn't
cost you
to make a
home out of your
suffering

but
instead of sorry
i will fill my tongue
with thank you's
that i pray you will
hear from across
the country

your tears have an echo
and it sounds like
rain
quenching
the desert
