“Come to us on your hands.
All you can read, alone
with a lamp, is your palm.”—Paul Celan, from Glottal Stop, trans. Nikolai Popov and Heather McHugh (via proustitute)

“Love is the ultimate outlaw. It just won’t adhere to any rules. The most any of us can do is to sign on as its accomplice. Instead of vowing to honor & obey, maybe we should swear to aid & abet. That would mean that security is out of the question. The words ‘make’ & ‘stay’ become inappropriate. My love for you has no strings attached. I love you for free.”—Tom Robbins (via iamthewoodpecker)

“Who said that love was fire?
I know that love is ash.
It is the thing which remains
When the fire is spent,
The holy essence of experience.”—Patience Worth, “Who Said That Love Was Fire?” (via larmoyante)

Poetic communion, something like that, while everyone else is taking care of business, at 2:49 pm my day has already been longer than most people have been alive. Whatever we’re trading would be fine enough if I could just stop crying long enough to say I’ve had enough of this constant leaving. It is not like I haven’t proven I am chronically alone. There’s nothing particularly special about that.
