When looking for the origin of a certain quotation (to be used in a picture very soon), I discovered Warsan Shire - a young, modern day poet. I urge you to read her works, they epitomise feelings that we can all identify with but by combining words in unusual twisting ways. I adore the below.
“every mouth you’ve ever kissed
was just practice
all the bodies you’ve ever undressed
and ploughed in to
were preparing you for me.
i don’t mind tasting them in the
memory of your mouth
they were a long hall way
a door half open
a single suit case still on the conveyor belt
was it a long journey?
did it take you long to find me?
you’re here now,
welcome home.”
― Warsan Shire
