@Hangul93 @Potassium_k6 If you were a girl, I would have married you.

[Mocking Jay @AmbivalentRants]

@Hangul93 @Potassium_k6 The only potential downside to doing that here in Kashmir is that the cars are simply going to run us over.

Ode to Walk Whitman, Federico Garcia Lorca (portions from a lengthier poem)

[Mocking Jay @AmbivalentRants]

‘Not for a moment, Walt Whitman, lovely old man,
have I failed to see your beard full of butterflies,
nor your corduroy shoulders frayed by the moon’

‘old man, beautiful as the mist,
you moaned like a bird
with its sex pierced by a needle.’

[Mocking Jay @AmbivalentRants]

I have been studying the difference
between solitude and loneliness,
telling the story of my life
to the clean white towels taken warm from the dryer.
I carry them through the house
as though they were my children
asleep in my arms.

- Richard Jones, White Towels

[Mocking Jay @AmbivalentRants]

Let me live unmirrored.
And then let me dream
that ants and thistledown
are my leaves and my birds.

Woodcutter.
Cut down my shadow.
Deliver me from the torment
of bearing no fruit.

- Federico Garcia Lorca

Song of the Dead Orange Tree

(To Carmen Morales)

Woodcutter.
Cut down my shadow.
Deliver me from my torment
of bearing no fruit.

Why was I born among mirrors?
Day turns round and round me.
And night copies me
in all her stars.

[Mocking Jay @AmbivalentRants]

The world of fireflies
has invaded my memories.

And a tiny little heart
is sprouting at my fingertips.

[Mocking Jay @AmbivalentRants]

@slalaikumx I had to google that.

[Mocking Jay @AmbivalentRants]

Perhaps I should stop looking at the raspberries and eat the sun.
