Things always return to a man
& his desire to be touched, & touch,
That want to be known, governs us all.
— Reginald Dwayne Betts, “City of the Moon”
And everything depends upon
how near you sleep to me.
Just take this longing from my tongue,
all the lonely things my hands have done.
— Leonard Cohen, “Take This Longing”
don’t you know
they bury men
like me alive with all of our
sentimental longing.
— Hanif Abdurraqib, “It’s Not Like Nikola Tesla Knew All of Those People Were Going to Die”

Epiphyllum oxypetalum, also known as Kadupul or Queen of the Night, is considered one of the most expensive flowers in the world, due to its rarity, fragrance and the fact that it doesn’t survive long enough to even be picked. It blooms rarely (usually once a year) and only at night, and then will die by the next morning.

When you wake up,
what kind of world will you find yourself in?
Will the world reflected in your eyes
be the world you wished for…?
The one who will decide that is you.

do you think havelock kept tabs on sam after the revolution bc he wanted to do SOMETHING for keel? do you think he kept thinking about what keel would do in certain situations (average teenage crush experience)? do you think he followed him home one time and saw how sweet sam was to his mother and never did it again bc it made him miss his own mother too much? do you think he was there when sam moved out? do you think he was there the first time sam drank himself black out drunk (and maybe even made sure no one jumped out at him from the shadows)? do you think he silently despaired every time he saw sam with a drink? do you think he thought about keel? do you think that while his plans were working to take down the watch he didn't feel even remotely proud bc he was destroying sam with it? do you think he finally let himself feel something for sam when they were in the dungeon? (do you want think he calls him 'sam' in his head all the time?) do you think the revelation that sam was keel makes it harder and harder for him to deny his feelings?
