Status Updates From There Lives a Young Girl in...

“this friendship, ardent and unspoken, can only vibrate like a poem carrying between its lines a want the poet has never called by name.”

“The frost let go.
The mittens fell from the radiator.
A man's back will tell you more than he has said in eighteen years.
Another man and another woman glance off

the memory.
The day was meaningless like what you call
love.”

“I gave you your vigilant eyes, you'll always be known by them, and if you meet a gaze like yours, know it belongs to a friend.
And at the sound of pure notes playing some sweeter melody, you will find yourself missing my harsh, insistent voice.”

“heavy dreams loosen their hold, and it's as if all bad things break when the good rain comes.”

Tove Ditlevsen broke my reading slump !!!!!!!

“The best time of my day
is when I am alone,
and my thoughts can grasp
a fleeting memory - (….)

Here I found what is lost
to the routine threat
of things that need doing
and things getting done”

“You and me, me and you, nothing else on Earth exists - if you want to know me, ask the green waves, I am as reckless as they are, never knowing what I want.
The night is so warm and every sin goes unpunished.
Hush, if you listen you'll hear how close the city is:
Its saltwater breeze is my mother's voice, my soul is the night caressing young trees.
I am good and bad and you will never forget me.”
