Poetry to Love

Vian Studios is continuing a series of blogs about creativity in this time of quarantine and change.  Here is our second blog showcasing 2 poems titled “solar return,” and “gesture” from Ivanna Baranova.

solar return

yes
it’s sad now

but
think
of the sun

how
it will shine tomorrow on you

and every beautiful thing
that exists

---

gesture

i shine a light

to every

atom that surrounds

you

joy
recalls
my obsolescent heart
