"Yours is the only face I recognize. Bone at my bone, you drink my answers in. I see your eyes..."

“Yours is the only face I recognize. Bone at my bone, you drink my answers in. I see your eyes lifting their tents. They are blue stones, they begin to outgrow their moss. You blink in surprise and I wonder what you can see, as you trouble my silence. I am a shelter of lies. My arms fit you like a sleeve, they hold catkins of your willows, the wild bee farms of your nerves, each muscle and fold of your days. And now that’s that. There is nothing more that I can say or lose. I tighten to refuse your owling eyes, my fragile visitor. I touch your cheeks, like flowers. You bruise against me. We unlearn. I am a shore rocking you off. You break from me. I choose your only way and hand you off, trembling the selves we lose.”

““I never wish to be easily defined. I’d rather float over other people’s minds as something strictly fluid and non-perceivable; more like a transparent, paradoxically iridescent creature rather than an actual person.””

- Franz Kafka; from a diary entry dated 23 March 1914 (via nc-17)

“Am I in love? —yes, since I am waiting. The other one never waits. Sometimes I want to play the part of the one who doesn’t wait; I try to busy myself elsewhere, to arrive late; but I always lose at this game. Whatever I do, I find myself there, with nothing to do, punctual, even ahead of time. The lover’s fatal identity is precisely this: I am the one who waits”
