Many years after first reading this poem, I still recite a line from it to myself when I return to my living space after a day out that's left me moved in deep ways I can't quite put to words. There's just... oh, so much about our experience in this immense and fragile cosmos that happens in secret, or languages we can never hope to translate in full.

"I've come home wanting to touch / everyone, everything"

May you move with gentleness through all your deep-feeling moments, too.
