[Ilya Kaminsky @ilya_poet]

If I die before you
which is all but certain
then in the moment
before you will see me
become someone dead
in a transformation [...]
I will cross over into you
and ask you to carry
not only your own memories
but mine too until you
Too lie down and erase us

—Galway Kinnell

"... For while we have our eyes on the future,
History has its eyes on us. ... "

Thank you, @TheAmandaGorman, for this beautiful inaugural poem.

We're keeping an eye on the White House as Moving Day approaches. (Does he really own a bust of Abraham Lincoln?) https://t.co/i5FILlIqkw #InaugurationDay2021 #countdown2021 #3MoreDays

Also this:
"...For it's not just in a declaration of independence
But the everyday declaration of its descendants
That make a people equal...."
