look out below…
I been brought down to zero, pulled out and put back there.
I sat on a park bench, kissed the girl with the black hair
and my head shouted down to my heart,
“You better look out below!”
– John Prine –
i should feel…
I should feel the air move against me, and feel the things I touched, instead of having only to look at them. I’m sure life is all wrong because it has become much too visual – we can neither hear nor feel nor understand, we can only see. I’m sure that is entirely wrong.
– D.H. Lawrence –
wild places i love…
The mind I love must have wild places, a tangled orchard where dark damsons drop in the heavy grass, an overgrown little wood, the chance of a snake or two, a pool that nobody’s fathomed the depth of, and paths threaded with flowers planted by the mind.
– Katherine Mansfield –
we are each other’s…
We are each other’s business.
We are each other’s harvest and magnitude and bond.
– Gwendolyn Brooks –
another world…
i crave…
i prefer you…
return often…
Return often and take me at night, when the lips and skin remember.
– Constantine P. Cavafy –
