“You’re in a car with a beautiful boy and he won’t tell you that he loves you but he loves you” -Richard Siken, You are Jeff, Crush

You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.

Aur bhee gham hain zamane mein mohabbat ke siva

“you put my heart in the bottom of your shoe / you just walked back to where you hurt" -Ntozake Shange

what’s a random line of poetry you say aloud or in ya head from time to time unprovoked?
