"There’s something I’m finding out as I’m aging: that I am in love with the world. And I look right now, as we speak together, out my window in my studio, and I see my trees. My beautiful, beautiful maples are hundreds of years old. I can see how beautiful they are. I can take time to see how beautiful they are. It is a blessing to get old. It is a blessing to find the time, to do the things, to read the books, to listen to the music. I don’t think I’m rationalizing anything. Since this is all inevitable and I have no control over it... ... I have nothing now but praise for my life. I'm not unhappy. I cry a lot because I miss people. They die and I can't stop them. They leave me and I love them more. ... What I dread is the isolation. ... There are so many beautiful things in the world which I will have to leave when I die, but I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready.”

Maurice Sendak

Since I thought I'd be dead by now everything I do is fucking perfect walking wreck wreckless and men I suck their bones until they're perfect I don't sleep with accolades I don't get touched in the night all men do is cry and ask me to be their mammas I can't get a decent fuck to save my when I think about their feelings I don't care It's cool it's cool come to mama there is so much death here she is casual and almost fragrant like the word kill doesn't sound as bad as it is All my friends are sisters and husbands I'm afraid to be uncharted I want an empire in my teeth but I can't be bothered to not wear silk or nothing I have grown up less mysterious than my myth All men do is think I'm looking at them When I think about them tasting me I don't I mean don't google my tits when you can just Unfortunately I have a body and I'm the only one in charge of it you know what I eat the bones too I'm in the world I'm in the world nobody cares where I came from
