WHEN I FINALLY EXHALE IT TAKES FOREVER TO BE OVER

going to stay with L for a few days. she's taking me to the theatre, im bringing books and letters for her. i don't know where she'll have me sleep. i feel like i'm drifting and i miss being in a relationship and i miss physical contact. speaking to 🐞 so much that im picking up the transatlantic accent she puts on, and can't stop saying darling

sometimes when i read something extremely good i can hardly stand to read more than two or three sentences at a time because i get so excited every other line that it's almost physically exhausting to get through

“and that water these words what can they do what can they do”

Zbigniew Herbert, from Elegy of Fortinbras (tr. by Czesław Miłosz and Peter Dale Scott).

Haiii. I recently started following you, and wanted to say that your blog is fascinating, I’m so happy to have found it 🎠 I wonder: what/who is your favorite poem/poet? This year, and/or of all time?

you're such a sweetheart thank you for such a nice mwssage ^^ i love my blog..... thanks for staying past all the dissertation posting hihii

favourite poem of the last few years has to be 'what a cyborg wants' by franny choi. i used to have a copy above the head of my bed and read it every night <- normal behaviour. ive spent the last few months revolving solely around cécile mainardi for my dissertation but i don't know that i would call her my favourite poet — most influential on my summer though by far ! who do you like ? i'm always looking for recommendations <33

i think it's done. just need to proof read and stop saying superfluid water transcends prose. 10 words over the limit so far, had to remove my clive scott quote </3
