this is just to say

by Финтифлюшка

I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox

and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast

Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold

.William Carlos Williams

this is the best thing i’ve read in the last couple of weeks.
it’s at times like this that i’m glad to have classes such as stylistics.
if anything, university helps you discover things.
and i can’t really begin to explain how much i fell in love with this poem.
simple, bittersweet, and lovely.
