How about holding a palm full of miracles, How about building a house on the moon?

The Dø, “Miracles (Back in Time)”

Do I not dream? Can this ambitious age Have so much goodness in't as to prefer A man merely for worth, without these shadows Of wealth and painted honors?

John Webster, “The Duchess of Malfi”

Seeing that we are the sun, we give up the candle’s habit of fearing the wind - We see ourselves and our life everywhere.

these little moments, all so light and perfect;

[dazzlemestarlight]

and the mist rose off the mountains, soft;

[dazzlemestarlight]

quiet temple afternoons;

smooth and soft, some great slinking slowness comes i’ve gone the wrong way on the subway - goodbye, day - i hadn’t even noticed. i kiss the sunlight with my fingers and sink into the sublime. i will venture to become something pearlescent, something beyond your imaginings. there is an art form to drowning, i believe, and i’m prepared to do it over and over and over, again until this has become a thing of grace. i have been told i look most beautiful when i am bleeding. so i will let it run in rivulets through the streets, cresting, curling a catalogue of my defeat. there is a point to being gone if at least it makes me beautiful.

i regret to say 
that i sprinkled a little 
of heaven in your teacup 
last Thursday - 
it won’t happen again, 
i promise. 
sprinkle, or 
spill, or 
slip, 
or something similar - 
sorry. 
i’ll soak 
in it 
instead. 
you say you’re just 
an infidel, 
i say you’re 
an ingrate. if you won’t host my heaven then i’ll hold on to it instead. i’ll swallow in your stead. no more give | no more take | a clean swift break.

/i cup my cup of heaven in my palm/

i admit defeat / the two of us should not repeat

[dazzlemestarlight]

i don't want to lose you to loss of memory
