i am not a woman, but the light that falls on this gate, on this ground. i am the seasons, I think sometimes, january, may, november; the mud, the mist, the dawn. i cannot be tossed about, or float gently, or mix with other people.

terror te amar num sítio tão frágil como o mundo. mal de te amar neste lugar de imperfeição. onde tudo nos quebra e emudece. onde tudo nos mente e nos separa. [s.m.b.a]  ❃ ⠂⠄⠄⠂⠁⠂⠄⠄⠂

[the silence of plants]

a one-sided relationship is developing quite well between you and me. i know what a leaf, petal, kernel, cone, and stem are, and i know what happens to you in april and december.

though my curiosity is unrequited, i gladly stoop for some of you, and for others I crane my neck.

i have names for you: maple, burdock, liverwort, eather, juniper, mistletoe, and forget-me-not; but you have none for me.

after all, we share a common journey. when traveling together, it's normal to talk, exchanging remarks, say, about the weather, or about the stations flashing past.

we wouldn't run out of topics for so much connects us. the same star keeps us in reach. we cast shadows according to the same laws. both of us at least try to know something, each in our own way, and even ...

small ooc note. não há nada de profissional aqui, é só um espaço de preenchimento afetivo, baseado nas mudanças de humor da niyi e nos gostos dela. dedico o listo às informações de trivia, gosto pela música, poesia e moodboards no geral. coisas mais fieis ao plot e trabalho da niyi estão descritas no carrd e são desenvolvidas no canal ou tl. a lógica aqui é dividir presente, passado e futuro na main page/arquivo/on going. amo este site muitão e os convido a entrar para trocar listinhas também. :*

i can never be all the people i want and live all the lives I want. i can never train myself in all the skills i want. and why do i want? i want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in my life.

[quatro da madrugada]

hora entre a noite e o dia.

hora de um lado para o outro.

hora para os trintões.

hora arrumada para o galo cantar.

hora em que a terra nos repudia.

hora em que o vento de estrelas extintas assobia.

hora do será-que-de-nós-nada-vai-restar.

hora vazia.

surda, vã.

o fundo de todas as outras horas.

ninguém se sente bem às quatro da madrugada.

se as formigas se sentem bem às quatro da madrugada

— felicitemos as formigas. e que soem às cinco

se é para continuar vivendo.

wislawa.
