On Masochism and Falling in Love
Gravels taste like stone
Hot air
Threading along the crooked path--
my veins
run deeper than sighs
all the way to the crust
the crumb
II
When a man dies
He is not varnished
this
is what my heart told me
on the sidewalks:
that love existed only in death
and death--
the true death--
only exists between people in love
in the love of death
the Earth
the crust
the basic ecstasy of non-existence
the death of air
the air of death
It is in the dearth of love
the gravels
the stone
Here Lies [insert my name if you know it]
With love.
Wow. Bringing that fuego ;)
run deeper than sighs
all the way to the crust
I feel that line deeply. And I always appreciate some humor thrown in to balance an intense piece. This really brilliant work.
ARe you not eligible for Curie's because you are a curator?
Thanks so much; you flatter me, honest. Curators do get curied, in fact. So yeah I am. But this is more than 24 hours old already, so it is against the guidelines. Thanks so much for your comment, though. It gives me immense joy.
24 hours, man that's a bummer :(
Why is that 24 hour rule in place? Do you know the thought behind it?
