Nina Dringo Poems

We all
Hurt others
Unconsciously
Or aiming for pain
...

Sometimes
When I am especially quiet
I can hear the stars laughing
The rain pouring far away
...

Scientists say
That we only use ten percent of our brain
That all of our memories
Are stored inside
...

Look
At the sky
So blue
So bottomless
...

The moon
Seems to shine on it's own
But it is really
A reflection of the sun
...

I am dead
But I don't know this for sure
I am floating
Somewhere
...

My lips are zipped
Silent
Why
...

I am someone
Who laughs for no reason
Who dances in the rain
Who cries for starving children.
...

From where I sit
I can see
A lonely blue hill
...

Every time I see you
My heart lights up
I laugh.
...
