• we are singing a deep and soaring song in choir that makes me cry every rehearsal. so i try to listen to it constantly so maybe i could build up a resistance to it, at least when i am around people? but all this does is turn me into an eternal puddle of tears. i need new stratagems.

  • you, my sapphire-eyed one, you were watching me pretend to fence with the other boy, you were watching me dance to the songs you were playing, you were watching my friend and i braid each other's hair. you were, you were, i saw you, for i was watching you, too. we are far too similar. we are far too shy.

  • jorge luis borges once told a small child that if he was good, he would then let him imagine a bear. i love minds like these, ones that seem to come to us from a higher, nobler, more delicate plane... gerard de nerval, too, he walked a pet lobster through paris on a blue ribbon because "it does not bark and it knows the secrets of the deep." i now want a lobster and permission to imagine bears
  • maximilian hecker's voice breaks my heart in such a way that makes it long to be broken so
