When Richard Siken said "someone has to leave first. This is a very old story. There is no other version of this story." I felt this terribly in my bones.

Tell me about your books, your visions made of flesh and light

“someone has to leave first. this is a very old story. there is no other version of this story.”

we're shooting the scene where i swallow your heart and you make me spit it up again. i swallow your heart and it crawls right out of my mouth.

because it was my brand the last time i was on tumblr, i will continue to be on my bullshit and post excerpts from crush by richard siken and apply them to the mafia trilogy.

for example:

vito promising joe he won’t die in the war because they’ve been through too much shit to not die together, side be side, sharing the same pool of blood. reiterating how their hearts beat together, no matter what. and joe believes him because vito doesn’t break a promise.

or my favourite doomed-by-the-narrative henry tomasino who always knew he’d die before he was old so he said to himself he would always be ready yet he meets vito & joe and suddenly every day he’s waking up praying for one more day while simultaneously looking at them for a moment too long wondering just which one will be his undoing and finding he wouldn’t mind, either way.

imagine: someone’s pulling a gun, and you’re jumping into the middle of it. you didn’t think you’d feel this way.

"Eventually something you love is going to be taken away. And then you will fall to the floor crying. And then, however much later, it is finally happening to you: you’re falling to the floor crying thinking, "I am falling to the floor crying," but there’s an element of the ridiculous to it — you knew it would happen and, even worse, while you’re on the floor crying you look at the place where the wall meets the floor and you realize you didn’t paint it very well."

– Richard Siken

we were simply going forward, riotous and windswept,

We are all going forward. None of us are going back.
