  • Andrinahas quoted8 years ago
    How did it come
    to this, and does it matter? We aim
    to be gentle, but end up cruel
  • Gerardo Arteagahas quoted4 years ago
    It was there
    that I said a prayer
    to the brown and blue notebooks
    of your arms.
  • Gerardo Arteagahas quoted4 years ago
    We share a brightness
    It’s called death
    in life
  • Gerardo Arteagahas quoted4 years ago
    As it is
    there ought to be a law
    against this loneliness,
    the kind you brought
    without meaning it.
  • Gerardo Arteagahas quoted4 years ago
    Alone at last
    with this damp pain
    with which I came
    into being
    Who knows what I am
    beyond it, beyond
    its unease
  • Gerardo Arteagahas quoted4 years ago
    Solitude is a gift
    Say it to yourself
    under a canopy
    of phony stars
  • Gerardo Arteagahas quoted4 years ago
    I just want to be called out as the greedy whore that I am
  • Gerardo Arteagahas quoted4 years ago
    sometimes
    I think it would be so hot to fuck you with another
    and other times I know I’m just making the best
    of a bad situation.
  • Gerardo Arteagahas quoted4 years ago
    but you have to march across the span
    while you can, before winter’s sweet cocoon
    gets punctured and happiness presents itself
    as an option, and I have to accept the possibility
    of another body in my bed.
  • Gerardo Arteagahas quoted4 years ago
    I keep wanting
    to pick up every hard and bright object I find
    and put it in a Mason jar, then add blue pigment
    and shake.
