“To be called brave by someone you don’t know / is to wonder if you wear survival like a half-burned dress”

Date a girl who is an Old God of the forest, whose antlers are coated in moss, whose hooves blend in with the forest floor, who calls the trees to her side as she sings

The most romantic thing a human being can say to another human being is Let me help you vomit. No human being has ever said this to me & I keep going to god too clean as though god is frightened of muddy feet. If I am missing a hairpin I don’t go at all. Please describe your vomiting; it is like a psalm for me a place where wilderness might be new. Other people’s dirt makes a lovely frock. Grant I be forgiven in the gush.

“Time is somewhere else.Don’t they call a body the wound with nine holes. Why cannot a body itself be testimony. Why cannot the fact that the witness is bear the witness. Testimony’s gesture of veracity used to be the laying of a hand upon the genitals. Why cannot being itself bear anything without a proof. FLESH MADE WORDConstant presence of everything BE MY FRIEND longing.You have got to goad yourself toward a becoming that is in accordance with what you are innate. You have got to sometimes becomes the medicine you want to take. You have got to, you have absolutely got to put your face into the gash and sniff, and lick. You have got to learn to get sick. You have got to reestablish the integrity of your emotions so that their violence can become a health and so that you can keep on becoming. There is no sacrifice. You have got to want to live. You have got to force yourself to want to.”

“Alain Badiou, on the day Of his class, said, “Because an event Is pure rapture, an event disappears Immediately: it does not exist Objectively, but only by appearing And disappearing.” This is both Precise and vague; it is attractive I guess. I guess since you and me did not Disappear immediately, it was Not pure rapture, not in these Terms, but my smile Was real each time I swallowed Your cum.”
