I love Lin. He is such a master of words and has truly a graceful spirit. Modern poetry can be so incredibly good. This poem is my favourite one of the bunch and also topical for this time of year:
Awaken ancient forms and play within them
Sift gold amidst the wreckage of your slumber;
Renew your passions, maybe pinterest pin them
Tell that one toxic friend, "Yo lose my number."
The day is clear a new year is adorning;
And so are you perpet'ually. Gmorning.
Find words for all your daily joys and terrors.
Gnight; make work that gets us in our feelings.
Send off to bed your doubt, your shame, your errors;
Break curfew with your muses, shatter ceilings.
The year is fresh; wipe clean inertia's mildew.
Grateful for all you do, and all you will do.
Awaken ancient forms and play within them
Sift gold amidst the wreckage of your slumber;
Renew your passions, maybe pinterest pin them
Tell that one toxic friend, "Yo lose my number."
The day is clear a new year is adorning;
And so are you perpet'ually. Gmorning.
Find words for all your daily joys and terrors.
Gnight; make work that gets us in our feelings.
Send off to bed your doubt, your shame, your errors;
Break curfew with your muses, shatter ceilings.
The year is fresh; wipe clean inertia's mildew.
Grateful for all you do, and all you will do.
