A Love Like Porcelain @xporcelainlovex - Tumblr Blog

If we were flowers in a garden,

blooming side by side

but with petals too far to touch,

I’d lace poetry into my pollen,

so when the bees and butterflies

flutter through me,

they’d carry my love on their wings

and leave soft kisses on your petals.

If we were stars on opposite corners

Of a vast night sky

I’d shine brighter each night

Winking at you from afar

So you’d never feel alone.

If we were chapters in a story

Separated by pages

I’d write you into every margin

So you’d know I’m thinking of you.

Even if we only met in passing,

I’d find a way to love you.

I’d always be there

looking after you.

‘Then Carol slipped her arm under her neck, and all the length of their bodies touched fitting as if something had prearranged it. Happiness was like a green vine spreading through her, stretching fine tendrils, bearing flowers through her flesh. She had a vision of a pale white flower, shimmering as if seen in darkness, or through water. Why did people talk of heaven, she wondered.’

Patricia Highsmith, The Price of Salt (1952) // Carol (2015), dir. Todd Haynes

when pompeii was first being excavated and studied ppl were writing about how there were literal hundreds of brothels. every street and every corner. and this was kind of accepted for a couple of years before someone went “hey that doesn’t actually make any sense at all. what are you using as proof there are so many brothels? what’s the criteria for it to count?” and it turned out ppl were like “oh if there’s a dick drawn on it it’s a brothel.”

so anyway after re-evaluating the criteria there’s only one single building in all of pompeii that researchers are pretty sure was a brothel.

while the “picture of penis = brothel” thing IS really dumb it does provide the wonderful mental image of archaeologists just going around and marking every dick they find on a map and growing more and more horrified and disgusted
