“it would be nice to be something in a museum one day because that’s what I’ve been told means you’ve lived a meaningful life but I think instead I might like to be in a garden where even after I die the residue of me can help grow something more beautiful than I ever was”
― Clint Smith, Counting Descent

“The smile on your mouth was the deadest thing
Alive enough to have strength to die;”
― Thomas Hardy, Wessex Poems and Other Verses

“do you know what it means for your existence to be defined by someone else’s intentions?”
― Clint Smith, Counting Descent

“Do not fall in love with people like me.
I will take you to museums, and parks, and monuments, and kiss you in every beautiful place, so that you can never go back to them without tasting me like blood in your mouth.
I will destroy you in the most beautiful way possible. And when I leave you will finally understand, why storms are named after people.”
― Caitlyn Siehl, Literary Sexts: A Collection of Short & Sexy Love Poems
