“Quietude
Nothing visits me;
my heart is quiet.
It was Sunday’s roofed school paths,
- everyone gone to the meadow.
The floorboards have a cold shine,
small birds are singing in the garden.
The half-shut tap’s
droplet blinks!
The earth is rose-coloured, larks in the sky;
the sky is a beautiful April.
Nothing visits me;
my heart is quiet.”
― The Poems of Nakahara Chuya

“God wouldn't have given us feet if He didn't want us to walk. By the same token, why give us a brain if He didn't want us to have thoughts?”

“Snow kissed me last night until my mouth was sore. He kissed me so much, I was worried I’d Turn him with all my saliva. He held himself up on all fours above me and made me reach up for his mouth—and I did. I would again. I’d cross every line for him.
I’m in love with him.
And he likes this better than fighting.”

“What you are is a fucking tragedy, Simon Snow. You literally couldn't be a bigger mess."
He tries to kiss me, but I pull back- "And you like that?"
"I love it." He says
"Why?"
"Because we match.”
