I don't fully understand anything. Least of all how I ended up here.

"Archaic Torso of Apollo"
We cannot know his legendary head
with eyes like ripening fruit. And yet his torso
is still suffused with brilliance from inside,
like a lamp, in which his gaze, now turned to low,
gleams in all its power. Otherwise
the curved breast could not dazzle you so, nor could
a smile run through the placid hips and thighs
to that dark center where procreation flared.
Otherwise this stone would seem defaced
beneath the translucent cascade of the shoulders
and would not glisten like a wild beast's fur:
would not, from all the borders of itself,
burst like a star: for here there is no place
that does not see you. You must change your life.
Rilke

"1=1"
When you want a happier childhood - more stable or more whimsy or less anger or less glib - you have a kid and you give them THAT childhood so that YOU can enjoy it.
They don't owe you shit. You did that all for yourself.
Every adult knows this already.
Here's my question: when you want to have had a different ADULTHOOD - more stable or more whimsy or less anger or less glib - what do you do (for whom) so you can have-enjoy that?
I'd ask my lover but he wouldn't let me even finish asking before he cut me off
With protestations of love
A cut off, same as any other kind of "shut up", in effect.

| new chapter ft. what do you see? I teetered just a very wee bit, entertaining in theory (while drunk) Nebraska's repeated stated intention of marrying me. I'm holding the line on a fat ring, essentially cockblocking him / tethering myself. It doesn't turn out well, usually. But. I'm beginning to wonder about the shape I'm taking now A lover has desires and that is what shape she takes, the shape of herself. |
