“I have survived too much to go quietly.
Let a meteor take me.
Call the thunder for back up.
My death will be grand.
The land will crack,
the sun will eat itself…

-the day I leave.” – Rupi Kuar.

There’s a universe in me,
have you seen?
Sunlight and stardust.
Multi-galaxies.
Poetry and wanderlust.
Stellar energy.
From the tips of my fingers,
to the bottom of my feet.
I could blind the whole world
with how bright
the constellations are in me.
