—the point was not to die, since death came anyway, but to survive, which would be a miracle.

We ate the birds. We ate them. We wanted their songs to flow up through our throats and burst out of our mouths, and so we ate them. We wanted their feathers to bud from our flesh. We wanted their wings, we wanted to fly as they did, soar freely among the treetops and the clouds, and so we ate them. We speared them, we clubbed them, we tangled their feet in glue, we netted them, we spitted them, we threw them onto hot coals, and all for love, because we loved them. We wanted to be one with them. We wanted to hatch out of clean, smooth, beautiful eggs, as they did, back when we were young and agile and innocent of cause and effect, we did not want the mess of being born, and so we crammed the birds into our gullets, feathers and all, but it was no use, we couldn’t sing, not effortlessly as they do, we can’t fly, not without smoke and metal, and as for the eggs we don’t stand a chance. We’re mired in gravity, we’re earthbound. We’re ankle-deep in blood, and all because we ate the birds, we ate them a long time ago, when we still had the power to say no.

Margaret Atwood, “We Ate the Birds”, from The Tent  (via sailingaugust)

My brother once showed me a piece of quartz that contained, he said, some trapped water older than all the seas in our world. He held it up to my ear. “Listen,” he said, “life and no escape.”

It is June.  I am tired of being brave. We drive to the Cape.  I cultivate myself where the sun gutters from the sky, where the sea swings in like an iron gate and we touch.  In another country people die. My darling, the wind falls in like stones from the whitehearted water and when we touch we enter touch entirely.  No one’s alone. Men kill for this, or for as much.

Anne Sexton, from “The Truth the Dead Know” (via allloversbetray)
