Tonight
I dared to crawl
beneath the sheets
to be nailed down
around me,
waiting for my lover, she
who enters
without knocking, she
who will unstitch
my every seam
along my thigh,
my side, my armpit.
She who carves
a heart out of the heart
and drops it
down her throat.
Sweet surrender this
slow death in sleep
as I dream
the love-making
is autopsy. How else
will I be hers
completely? Be her
treasure box I said:
a trove of pearls
and stones, the ding
of coins cascading
through her fingers.
The bird over her shoulder
not a parrot, but an owl
to be my mirror
when I close my eyes
and shape a moon-white
bowl out of my face
where she can wash
the hooks of her caress.

not to be deterred by a little setback he did the one thing that would ensure either people leave him the fuck alone or fight him till his dying day ;)
Very happy any time I see a story like yours. I have family who have survived and family who have not, and anytime someone beats cancer that's a true victory💜
"You were too lazy to learn to dance until it was almost too late, and in the same way you were too lazy to learn to love. As for ideal and tragic love, that I don’t doubt you can do marvellously- and all honour to you. Now you will learn to love a little in an ordinary human way."
Herman Hesse on #musestr
do it for the plebs
"I want to love you wildly. I don’t want words, but inarticulate cries, meaningless, from the bottom of my most primitive being, that flow from my belly like honey. A piercing joy, that leaves me empty, conquered, silenced."
Anaïs Nin on #musestr

my eyes will remember
how to love the world
under changing skies.
when the light changes,
so does the view.

In difficult times, #fashstr is always outrageous

Oh and self care? Immerse myself in deep uninterrupted concentration on art practice. It’s unfortunately a difficult thing to do usually, the world isn’t structured for that kind of thing. I think it’s why artists sometimes have a streak of the tyrant.
well said 💜
