the sun
and her flowers

this is the recipe of life
said my mother
as she held me in her arms as i wept
think of those flowers you plant
in the garden each year
they will teach you
that people too
must wilt
fall
root
rise
in order to bloom

the sun and her flowers is rupi’s long-awaited
second collection of poetry to be released
october 3rd 2017.
