Each open mouth is a blind spot. Want. Want. Want. I catch sight of myself in a mirror.

[ Text ID:
I havenât locked the door,
Nor lit the candles,
You donât know donât care,
That tired I havenât the strength
To decide to go to bed.
Seeing the fields fade in
The sunset murk of pine-needles,
And to know all is lost,
That life is a cursed hell:
Iâve got drunk
On your voice in the doorway.
I was sure youâd come back. ]

where is that quote by arundhati roy about how nonviolence is a spectacle for the oppressor and needs an audience and how people have the right to violence to resist
[ID: âCan the hungry go on a hunger strike? Non-violence is a piece of theatre. You need an audience. What can you do when you have no audience? People have the right to resist annihilationâ â Arundhati Roy /END ID]
you seem to know an awful lot about poetry,, think you can help me out?
i remember a while ago i read a heartwrenching poem of a young women recovering from suicide when she asks her father for a specific fruit that was out of season in their particular region, so he drives across state lines to acquire it.
its been bugging me all day sorry if this is random
It's from "Cherry" by Mary Karr
When Daddy comes in, he carries you to bed. Is there anything you feel like you could eat, Pokey? Anything at all? All you can imagine putting in your mouth is a cold plum, one with really tight skin on the outside but gum-shocking sweetness inside. And he and your mother discuss where he might find some this late in the season. Mother says hell I donât know. Further north, Iâd guess. The next morning, you wake up in your bed and sit up. Mother says, Pete, I think sheâs up. He hollers in, You ready for breakfast, Pokey. Then he comes in grinning, still in his work clothes from the night before. Heâs holding a farm bushel. The plums he empties onto the bed river toward you through folds in the quilt. If you stacked them up, theyâd fill the deepest bin at the Piggly Wiggly. Damned if I didnât get the urge to drive to Arkansas last night, he says. Your mother stands behind him saying heâs pure USDA crazy. Fort Smith, Arkansas. Found a roadside stand out there with a feller selling plums. And I says, Buddy, I got a little girl sick back in Texas. Sheâs got a hanker for plums and ainât nothing else gonna do. Itâs when you sink your teeth into the plum that you make a promise. The skin is still warm from riding in the sun in Daddyâs truck, and the nectar runs down your chin. And you snap out of it. Or are snapped out of it. Never again will you lay a hand against yourself, not so long as there are plums to eat and somebody-anybody-who gives enough of a damn to haul them to you. So long as you bear the least nibblet of love for any other creature in this dark world, though in love portions are never stingy. There are no smidgens or pinches, only rolling abundance. Thatâs how you acquire the resolution for survival that the coming years are about to demand. You donât earn it. Itâs given.
