i’m like [this is a love story] [if we want the rewards of being loved we have to submit to the mortifying ordeal of being known] [self recognition through The Other] [it’s rotten work not to me not if it’s you] [don’t you think there is always something unspoken between two people?] [ON PURPOSE, ON PURPOSE I AM GOING TO CARE ABOUT YOU] [don’t you think maybe they are the same thing? love and attention?] [i will take good care of you i will take good care of you everything you feel is good if you would only let you] [i’d take care of you if you’d asked me to in a year or two]

and as a species we are an epic failure of minute proportions, there’s such a thing as self-memory, a way of living with dignity, even if only because we live and survive,

a celular stubbornness and for that to never be enough,

but for it to feel so good in that second to punch a fascist and collapse with rage in the snow.

— Raquel Salas Rivera, from “apocalipsis / apocalypse,” published in Poetry Society of America

What I also mean to say is that I recognize the focus. The impulse to know someone else before you reveal yourself. The impulse to know someone else because you have never been asked to reveal yourself. The impulse to know someone else because otherwise, you do not know yourself. The impulse to know someone else because you are self-conscious of your whole self, the one that fills up too many rooms, so much space. The impulse to hide how much space you need. The impulse to hide what you need.

Me: gender is super fucky and I don’t really care about it

Me, 1 hour later: I would sell my liver to pass as a man and never be perceived as female again

top five lines from crush by richard siken that i think about constantly: a list by me

'there's a part in the movie where you can see right through the acting, where you can tell that i'm about to burst into tears, right before i burst into tears'

'you raised your hand to the light as if to hide it, the pink fingers gone gold with light streamed straight to the bone, as if you were the small room closed in glass with every speck of dust illuminated.'

'a man takes his sadness to the river and throws it in the river but then he's still left with the river. a man takes his sadness and throws it away but then he's still left with his hands.'

'here are the illuminated cities at the centre of me, and here is the centre of me, which is a lake, which is a well that we can drink from, but i just can't go through with it. i just don't want to die anymore.'

'i'll give you a heart to make a place for it to happen, evidence of a love that transcends hunger. is that too much to expect? that i would name the stars for you? that i would take you there?'

#siken... man....#narrate.#all the triumph overhead / all the disaster underneath.#it's my job to remember for you.
