You would think
the sea was blind
to me as I stare out,
deaf to the dull
pull of waters that
promise, if not love,
then love or nothing. Heidy Steidlmayer, Scylla (thanks, grammatolatry)

operahousegirl:

Wrapped a wristwatch ‘round my ankle
and then couldn’t unlink it—

Classic Collezio Quartz, too big to not slip down a relaxed hand
and I didn’t want to shower despite the battery being dead.

Don’t be afraid. The future is not disguised
       as sleep. It is a tango. It is a waterfall between

two countries, the river that tried to drown you.
       It is a city where men speak a language

you can fake if you must. Traci Brimhall, from “Through a Glass Darkly”  (via flakkery)
