the funniest part of tale of the body thief for me is that Anne clearly thought about how much it would traumatize a vampire if he had to take a shit and I love that for her

The Weight of Names

You taste like almond milk in summer

When you hold me as the wind wails

And curses my name on days

When I curse it too.

There is a heaviness in holding

An ancestry in my blood

And another woman in my name

And some days I cannot live up to it—

You make it easier.

You are the sweetest mango juice

From a brand I cannot remember

But I can still taste the pieces of fruit in it,

And you taste the same when your lips

Are pressed to my pulse

While the rest of the world

Is turned to muffled noise.

You make the screams of two histories

Quiet, long enough for me to wade between

A swamp of past sufferings I have inherited

Yet unable to make my own.

You taste like my mother's chai

When she tries to carry my father's traditions,

And her too-bitter coffee

When she carries her own.

I have two oceans inside me

That never meet

Yet you cross them with such ease

And show me how to love both blue

And seagreen. I can carry my name

And my blood without cursing it,

Hold it in kinder hands

And more gentle arms.

Zainab Saeed

[bruttal-scars]

A voice so soft yet fierce

Carried me out of my bed

Put me on my feet

Led me to a place where the sun

Was taking off its red cloak

Stroking brush across the sky

Paints a colour of golden

the exact shade of its glowing skin

I slowly lurched forward

Mesmerized by the view in front of me

I felt myself enveloped in a warm blanket

As the first ray of light beamed over me

People aren't homes, they never will be. People are rivers, always changing, forever flowing. They will disappear with everything you put inside them.

We need books that affect us like a disaster, that grieve us deeply, like being banished into forests far from everyone. A book must be the axe for the frozen sea within us. That is my belief.

i miss you. i loved you. i dont love you anymore. you are the brightest flower petals and the wasp above it. you are the sweetest fruit and the harshest sting. you are both ocean and storm, and i am the shore—you love me sometimes, you abandon me others. i miss you. i hate you. i dont dream of you anymore. 

I don’t need to hold onto you so desperately anymore

I love you. Infinitely and inexpressively. I've woken up in the middle of the night and here I am writing this. My love, my happiness.

— Vladimir Nabokov, from "Letters to Vera".

The problem is people are being hated when they are real, and being loved when they are fake.

I do not want to know everything. That is misery. For when you try to know everything, the lesser wonder you shall feel. And so allow those who do to amaze you with their craft, and feel content with that of which you have just lived. Love and never question.
