This has been going on for twenty years
but people still go on
feeding chickens
growing pumpkins
commuting to work

If she asked me the state of my heart
I would say
that what I am capable of
is continuing
I want to love my way through scar tissue

from she asked me what my heart was like and I said it was like sri lanka

3.75 stars. I can't say I'm fully on board with the title of this collection, but other than that, queer Sri Lankan badass poet is all you need to know.
