Quote
Death is calling me down by the river. With a torn heart, desolate, I listen to that song of purest happiness.
Alejandra Pizarnik, Extracting the Stone of Madness; from ‘The Dream of Death, or The Site of the Poetical Bodies’, tr. Yvette Siegert (via derangedrhythms)

“In my dream I apologize to everyone I meet. Instead of introducing myself, I apologize for not knowing why I am alive. I am sorry. I am sorry. I apologize. In real life, oddly enough, when I am fully awake and out and about, if I catch someone’s eye, I quickly look away. Perhaps this too is a form of apology.”
— Claudia Rankine, from Don’t Let Me Be Lonely

i remember my youth in static noise voiceless echos a dialect ghosts understand with the cats we fed for company in shelter of the outside holy, burning we wander the abyss in nervous skin until the day weeping, i forgive you, thank you
