"Don’t bother me.
I’ve just
been born."

,

"For years and years I struggled

just to love my life. And then

the butterfly rose, weightless, in the wind.

“Don’t love your life

too much,” it said,

and vanished

into the world."

*

The only way to heal, 

is to trust.

"As a child she was described as having the eyes of a half-tamed creature, being drawn to the unnatural, with a penchant for improvising tempestuous fairy stories..."

"Do you ever miss yourself? The person you were before you had your first heartbreak or before you got betrayed by a person you trusted?"

.

the heart has its reasons, 
which reason knows nothing of...
she would keep looking at me 
and everytime she looked at me
it was worth something.
i held my wrist up to my ear;
the sound of blood flowing 
with a steady cadence
like that of the tide,
filled my head.
the color of the sea is brave,
but not as brave as i have been.

"Now that my fingernails are ten steel knives, now that my lips are colder, thinner and sharper than their mortal blades, now that with a single glance I can wither a whole plantation, now that with my breath alone I can induce monstrous epidemics, these paths I take could be internal as much as external, just like reflections on velvet."

—Gherasim Luca, The Passive Vampire

"This is the end, isn’t it?

And you are here with me again, listening with me: the sea

no longer torments me; the self

I wished to be is the self I am."

In the beginning, there was the Great Serpent, whose seven thousand coils lay beneath the earth so that it might not fall into the abysmal Sea.  In time, the Serpent began to move, unleashing its undulating flesh which rose slowly into a great spiral that enveloped the Universe in the heavens, it released stars and celestial bodies.  On earth, it brought Creation, winding through molten slopes to create rivers, the veins through which flowed the essence of all life.  Rising again into the sky, it cast lightning bolts that made sacred stones.  It lay along the path of the sun and with its layered skin, the Serpent retained the spring of Eternal Life and from its Zenith it let flow the waters upon which the people would nurse.  As the water fell to the earth, the Rainbow arose and the Serpent took her as his wife, their Love a cosmic helix that stretched the heavens.  (The Serpent and the Rainbow, Haitian Folklore Creation Myth)
