1. Give Me Women, Wine, and Snuff

    GIVE me women, wine, and snuff
    Untill I cry out “hold, enough!”
    You may do so sans objection
    Till the day of resurrection:
    For, bless my beard, they aye shall be
    My beloved Trinity.

    -John Keats

  2. The modest Rose puts forth a thorn,
    The humble sheep a threat’ning horn:
    While the Lily white shall in love delight,
    Nor a thorn nor a threat stain her beauty bright.
    – Blake is Blake

  7. tumblrbot asked: WHAT IS YOUR EARLIEST HUMAN MEMORY?

    watching (with my now-long-dead cousin) planes scooping over fields, leaving pesticide over the plain carpeted by cotton plants.

  10. a lyric by frances horovitz

    this morning

    he walks naked

    in front of me

    last night

    slept easily

    by my side

    these more precious

    than declaration

    or mating—

  12. Often when I imagine you
    your wholeness cascades into many shapes.
    You run like a herd of luminous deer
    and I am dark, I am forest.

  14. from “Stations” by Ted Hughes

    You are a wild look—out of an egg
    Laid by your absence.

    In the great Emptiness you sit complacent,
    Blackbird in wet snow.

  15. aya bakmak

    otobüsten inince elimde olmadan bakakaldım gökyüzüne. kesilmiş yoğurt gibi göğe yayılmış bulutlar aydınlatıyordu ortalığı. refüjde kalakaldım.

    derken kayaların arasına sığınmış o gümüşi yengeç, o parlak madeni 5 kuruş büyüklüğündeki ay çıkıverdi utangaç gözleri ve iddialı avurtlarıyla.  donup kalmıştım. utanıyordum gökteki kadar! durdu hayat ve soluğunu tuttu semtteki bütün canlılar.

    önümde giden kız cep telefonuyla videoya çekiyordu gökyüzünü.

    fısıldadım aya: “seni seviyorum.”

    -ağzımda 30 küsur yıllık çağla tadı!
