My silhouette is an ocean, your lips a sailor.
HINNAH MIANMy silhouette is an ocean, your lips a sailor.
HINNAH MIANI love you the way rain falls on a sunny day- a kind of marvelous sadness.
HINNAH MIANThis foundation can only take the beating of one heart.
HINNAH MIANSeek refuge in the space between my bones.
HINNAH MIANIf you wish to read the story of my people look no further than my body.
HINNAH MIANI loved each and every one of your faces.
HINNAH MIANI remember when I was the only sin you liked to kiss.
HINNAH MIANI’ve got nothing left to give but I keep digging deeper.
HINNAH MIANI want to separate writing from heartbreak but I don’t know how.
HINNAH MIANFor once I want to be something that lasts.
HINNAH MIANEvery beauty mark, a country to roam. Every stretch mark, a river to cross.
HINNAH MIANHope lingers like a moon.
HINNAH MIANI pocket grief and it beckons me like a lover.
HINNAH MIANWhen I look in the mirror, I don’t see a poem.
HINNAH MIANThere is a calmness in not knowing.
HINNAH MIANShe has learned so much from dying only to be born again.
