About this listen

i fold and unfold / my heart a hundred times each / day

Today’s poem is “Under The Day” by Victoria Chang.* Here it is copied below:

Every day I laugh,
do you hear my mouth lifting?
I fold and unfold
my heart a hundred times each
day so that it doesn’t freeze.

I would love to hear some of the ways you fold and unfold your hearts. Please let me know in the comments if you’d like :-)

Have a wonderful week!

<3 Tara
