There was light somewhere, cool precious light, somewhere quite else.

In Darkness - Forugh Farrokhzad - Iran

Translator: Sholeh Wolpé (Farsi)

I called your name in darkness. All was silent and the breeze was ferrying the curtains. In the tepid sky a star was on fire, a star was leaving, a star was dying.

I called your name. Your name I called holding my own being like a bottle of milk between my hands.

The moon’s blue gaze rapped against the glass.

From the cicada city a blue song was ascending, slithering like smoke against window panes.

All night someone was panting disappointed inside my chest. Someone was rising. Someone was lusting. Two cold hands were pushing her away once again.

All through the night sorrow dripped from black branches. Someone surprised herself. Someone voiced your name. The air, like debris, collapsed on her head.

My tiny tree was in love with the wind, the itinerant wind. Where is the wind’s home? Where is the wind’s home?

A visit from Puella Ignota

The other morning at about 4 AM I woke from what I supposed was a particularly hair-raising nightmare. There was a tall teenage girl standing by my bed, stock-still and silent. I didn't recognize her, couldn't make out her face because, you know, it was dark. I'm pretty sure I was yelling at her to get out. Well I knew I was because I brought my mom to my room.

"Are you okay?" she said

"Yes" I answered tentatively

Mom left but the thing is the girl was still in my room. She followed mom out.

Disclaimer: she was not my sister

bitch this is all you’re gonna get. this life, this face, this body. you better not ‘maybe in another universe’ your way out of everything. sit your ass down and face this. go make tea and have a picnic and read a goddamn book. kiss your loved ones, send that damn text, and hug your siblings. this is all you’re gonna get.
