The NYT published this poem in its Magazine on Sunday, and I just loved it.
axolotl
- ire'na lara silva
little warrior
almost imperceptably
scarred
from so much healing
how many regrown limbs
how many repaired organs
even precious
brain tissue
created anew
teach me this
little warrior
how you remain
tender and
infinite
soft and eternal
in the face of struggle
how is it the healing
has already begun
even before the wound
