WE EARTHQUAKE, a love poem originally published in THROW YOURSELF OUT AND SEE IF IT MAKES ME COME, 2012.

“Rules of Style from Yohji Yamamoto 1. I believe that there are three conditions to a woman’s beauty. First, you must realize that not all women are beautiful all of the time. Sometimes beauty comes on a subconscious level. When she is in love, or has met someone new and exciting, she shines. Second, you must understand that life is unfair. Beauty is something that, for some, must be worked at. The third condition is luck. Some women can just be lucky. 2. My role in all of this is very simple. I make clothing like armor. My clothing protects you from unwelcome eyes. 3. Color, for me, has too many stories wrapped around it. I like black, white, gray, and navy. Like a uniform. 4. Life is better for beautiful people. You can become lucky if you are beautiful, you can become rich. But there is no truth in this definition of beauty. 5. If you feel strongly about someone, go up to them. Pursue what you want in life. Why be shy about something like that? 6. You can tell what a woman is going to be like in bed just by looking at her. There is a feeling about someone that comes from experience. When you’ve seen it once, you will recognize it again. 7. Fashion cannot make you sexy. Experience makes you sexy. Imagination makes people sexy. You have to train yourself, you have to study, and you have to live your life. 8. I love the back. A beautiful back makes a beautiful front. When you slouch, think about what happens to your front. You have to keep your back in the right position. This is where your spirit lies. 9. Men’s clothing is about tiny details, and I hate that. I am very small and I look stupid in a perfectly tailored suit. I want to be able to wear things that don’t fit perfectly, with the sleeves far too long. I wish clothing came with no sizes at all. It would be much better that way. 10. The biggest mistake you can make in fashion is imitation. If we keep on like this, fashion will die. There was a time when I used to fall in love on the street every day. I would see someone with such a way about them or such a flawless item that I would have to say, “Stop! Please! That’s perfect.” That never happens anymore. Everything is too similar. Soon it will be only a T-shirt and jeans. 11. I don’t think we should try to make space our own. I believe that as modern people we should live in mobility. We should always be moving.”

Иди за мной, когда земля в зените –

Твоих занятий и твоих событий

Редеет лес, прибой ослабевает –

С тобой соединенья не бывает,

Но и разлуки – тоже не предвидим;

Тобой любим, тобою ненавидим,

Тобой забыт и, стало быть, зарыт

В фундамент твоего ночного дома,

Я снова рядом – ты не упадёшь –

Иди за мной, не зная, что ведомый,

Не зная, что идёшь.

[i-ultimathule]

Звучания ласкают смертный слух,

Но музыка немая мне милей.

Играй, свирель, заворожив мой дух

Безмолвною мелодией своей.

О юноша! Ты вечно будешь петь.

Деревья никогда не облетят.

Влюблённый! Не упьёшься негой ты,

Вотще стремишь к любимой страстный взгляд.

Но не умрёт любовь твоя и впредь,

И не поблекнут милые черты.

…and so she took the hands of my demons and slow danced with them through the darkness, instead of running away like how everyone else did.

Music is a piece of art that goes in the ears straight to the heart

I am afraid of unimportant words, uttered absentmindedly; they seem to cut my sense of self into unrecoverable pieces.

I think all photographers make documentary photography, but, afterwards, it all comes down to how each person interprets what they see, whether it has more or less poetry or imagination. - Graciela Iturbide

I get my ideas out of my dreams… if you’re lucky enough to use something you see in a dream, it is purely original. It’s not in the world — it’s in your head. I think that is amazing.

I’m going to tell you something: thoughts are never honest. Emotions are. Do not go around asking for honesty in what people think; much of what they perceive as thinking is empty anyway because it’s thought out again and again and comes out refined and muddy. The ones who know how to feel might have to say to you a couple of interesting things or not and when they do that, you ought to know how to listen. So learn how to listen. You can’t make someone open up about their feelings in case they don’t want to. But you can remain open yourself through listening deeply and completely; they might want to talk about the weather and keep it simple – allow them to feel the simplicity. They might wish to throw a tragic metaphor to you and whisper “fucking hell”, then shut off again. Still, the feeling is there because the moment is. Emotion pours out directly or indirectly each time people engage themselves in the process of genuine interaction. Keep it genuine. Keep it simple.

Albert Camus, from Notebooks 1951-1959 (via violentwavesofemotion)
