How are you today ^.^

Anne Sexton, You, Doctor Martin.

“I feel extremely low when I wait for people, need people, cling to people, look around for people: that only thickens the dark cloud hanging over me and makes me feel myself a villain;”

There is a cult of ignorance in the United States and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that ‘my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge’.

One by one I drowned all the people I’d been.

“Don’t abuse a kind heart. You may never be offered one again.”

“The moon has set and the stars have faded, midnight has gone, long hours pass by, pass by; I sleep alone”

My love, I seal you with six kisses: eyes, mouth… and the others I shan’t tell you.

I want to say something but shame prevents me

And here I am kissing you, my tenderness. I am kissing everything that could be called you, yours … Do you want me to write twice a day ?

Your songs         are the impossible ruins         that keep the hours on turn.

I hear my ill-spirit sob in each blood cell, as if my hand were at its throat… . I myself am hell; nobody’s here —

And silence again.

Be careful of words […] they can be both daisies and bruises.

On Mars the sunset is blue. Imagine that next time you’re watching it here.

If it is winter in the book spring surprises me     when I look up
