“It’s summer now, and you’re craving a simpler existence. You want to read. You want to write. You want to meet strangers for dinner, and not refuse another drink at another bar. You want to dance. You want to find yourself in a basement, neck loose, bobbing your head as a group of musicians play, not because they should, but because they must. It’s summer now, and you’re looking forward to worrying less. You’re looking forward to longer nights and shorter days. You’re looking forward to gathering in back gardens and watching meat sputter on an open barbecue. You’re looking forward to laughing so hard your chest hurts and you feel light-headed. You’re looking forward to the safety in pleasure. You’re looking forward to forgetting, albeit briefly, the existential dread which plagues you, which tightens your chest, which pains your left side. You’re looking forward to forgetting that, leaving the house, you might not return intact. You’re looking forward to freedom, even if it is short, even if it might not last. You’re looking forward.”

— Caleb Azumah Nelson, Open Water

Something like a fire is raging // in my heart. I am buoyed that there is beauty / to be found at the center of my suffering.

Unending road that goes in loops and we are all stuck on it.

[lifeinpoetry]

Hunger leads to hungry blood and hungry flesh that call for hunger / The stick thin hungry woman tries to eat again even after eating everything / Her eyes get bigger and her teeth get sharper / Her hunger gets worse, and the woman can’t withstand it, so she cuts up the ground and eats it / Then she cuts off her breasts and eats them and cuts up the rest of her body and eats that too / She also dislodges her pupils and eats them and crunches and munches on her skeleton and eats that / Well, before long now, it is the Pacific Ocean hurtling all at once toward the rail thin woman’s maw that you shall see

— Kim Hyesoon, (A record of four thousand years of history) from "The History of Feed," The Hell of That Star, tr. Cindy Juyoung Ok
