Pedro Salinas, tr. by Ruth Katz Crispin, from Memory in My Hands: The Love Poetry of Pedro Salinas; “The voice I owe to you”

[Text ID: “and the longing / to love, to love you, more.”]

While a house may hunger, it cannot starve. And so in fever and anger and loneliness, it may simply lie in wait. Doors open. Shades drawn. Hallways empty. Hungry.

journal excerpt, july first

“I coped by retreating and maybe I did become a mirror, a polished surface that shows nothing of what lies beneath.”

— Rebecca Solnit, from The Faraway Nearby  (via feestje)

“I am the hurting kind. I keep searching for proof. […] Love ends. But what if it doesn’t?”

— Ada Limon, from “The Hurting Kind,” The Hurting Kind: Poems (Milkweed Editions, 2022)

“when you fall in love- you fall into an ocean. it is vast, it is deep, it is powerful. so, swim a little.”

— swim a little. |(morsus engel)|

[Text ID: “Admit it was on purpose. Confess that you saw the rot and chose to stay. That you touched the cobwebs and the dusty staircase and you loved me still. That you saw it all and lived there deliberately. That you fixed the leaky faucet instead of turning it off and changed the light bulbs instead of kneeling in broken glass. Tell me you weren’t blind and deaf to it, promise you loved me knowingly.” /End ID]
