And out of all these things I’ve done I think I love you better now
Don’t hold me down
I think my braces are breaking, and it’s more than I can take
Anne Sexton, from A Self-Portrait In Letters (via rosettes)

I’ve always found it so fascinating the expanse of human emotions and how complex they all can be. How our ways of expressing those emotions often fail us - there are no words for experiencing a Van Gogh in front of you; there are no words for the emotion you feel when you deeply connect to a song, a song so in tune with your entire being that it feels as if it were written for you or by you; there are no words to describe the junebug buzzing against my window screen as I type this. That conflict between wishing it would go away and being fascinated by the simple music it’s making with its body - a sound I myself could not replicate - and the understanding of what it feels like to be on the outside of a glowing warmth and wanting nothing more than to be on the other side of that window screen.

cut my wings and let me swing
could you offer anything
to a stubborn drunk with a serpent’s tongue
still teething on an infant thumb
