Let me bite you a little, just tender enough to leave a small bruise, easily hidden, that goes away in time.

Ophelia thinks that love is claustrophobic. It will squeeze her smaller until she's gone.

Leonard Cohen, from The Spice-Box of Earth; "Beneath My Hands"

Text ID: When you call me close / to tell me / your body is not beautiful / I want to summon / the eyes and hidden mouths / of stone and light and water / to testify against you.

When I looked at her I wanted both to touch her and watch her from a distance, to hold her and hide from her, to kiss her and ask her to forgive me—

Life cannot imitate art as only the living can make art and the act of being alive is only a temporary reprieve from the staunch conservative orthodoxy of non existence. This here is page 15 in my Paper Stage sessions of @mylastknownexistence with two painted canvases on top. My pencil never meant to imitate her, only to sing my version of her song in a lively way

Spoons, however: there are no spoons in Nature, or not on animals. We imitate ourselves. Here, let me help you: two cupped hands.

They say scent is the sense most tied to memory

When I smell rot and decay, it makes me feel like a child

I set myself on fire, And let everyone watch as I burn. When the fire has gone out, I pick my ashes up, And put them in my ribcage. I ask myself, “Why did nobody burn with me?”

Leonard Cohen, from The Spice-Box of Earth; "Beneath My Hands"

Text ID: Wherever you move / I hear the sounds of closing wings / of falling wings.

[feral-ballad]

I am sad because I love you, because I love you so much, and because I am not a bee to buzz with you lightly. I am not a flower, not a tree, not a rain-hewn stone. I am not a storm or a cresting wave, not a thorn or a vine. I am not the sun stinging the water, not the moon on the snow. I am not a star in the dark. I am not the dew-wet wind, not the cloud-stained dawn. I am only a girl, a small, plain girl, a girl who must smear her lips in honey to be found sweet.

Amal El-Mohtar, from The Honey Month; “Day 28: French Chestnut Honey”
