girls get lonely in the winter and fold into themselves and disappear for an indeterminate amount of time and seek solace in solitude and ponder the universe and reinvent who they are before blooming again in the warmer months and letting the molten glow of a honey-gold sun breathe life into their heart and soul and bones. it’s just the way it goes

i love when love is compared to religion in media like… there’s something so breathtaking about the way an author writes how someone will turn their back on god for their lover. reject the highest entity in the world because they love someone so much they make them a god. give up an eternity in heaven to live a decade in sin or whatever. especially false religion like ‘i’ll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies’ ‘religion’s in your lips even if it’s a false god we’d still worship this love’ how even a fake religion is more worthy of worship and devotion because the god is their lover……..

i love lover. i love leaving the christmas lights until january and i love unbreakable heaven and i love worshipping love and i love skipping down 16th avenue and i love being right there in the front row even if nobody comes to your show and i love seeing only daylight and i love light pink skies up on the roof and i love meeting in the afterglow and i love sunshine on the street at the parade and i love rainbows with all of the colors and i love high tea and stories from uni and i love my time my wine my spirit and my trust and i love holy orange bottles and i love memorizing the creaks in the floor and i love flashing my dollars and i love running away with you and i love all the kings horses and all the kings men and i love your complications too. i love lover

“But here I sit in my kitchen with the winter sun coming in through the window. The sugar bowl, fat sugar, squatting in front of me and beside me, pasted up on the refrigerator is someone’s letter. It says (in one little line) “Thank you, Anne Sexton, for the poetry of your life”. Erica Jong, thank you for the poetry of your life. with love from my kitchen to your kitchen.”

— Anne Sexton, from a letter to Erica Jong, in A Self-Portrait in Letters

To a man who wrote requesting an answer I think I will not go out again on your drifting boat that floats in any direction without ever setting a course
