Here she comes
Laughter in her kiss
Here she comes
Shame upon her lips
Come wanton spring
Come for birth you live
Youth takes its bow before the summer the seasons bring

Meander, Spiral, Explode by Jane Alison
The most important book I have read in 2019.
Writing is not what happens next, it's why it is happening.
The Beauty Myth
“Ideal beauty is ideal because it does not exist; The action lies in the gap between desire and gratification. Women are not perfect beauties without distance. That space, in a consumer culture, is a lucrative one. The beauty myth moves for men as a mirage, its power lies in its ever-receding nature. When the gap is closed, the lover embraces only his own disillusion.”

Art
“In a world of lies and liars, an honest work of art is always an act of social responsibility.”

More on Art
“Art flies around truth, but with the definite intention of not getting burnt. Its capacity lies in finding in the dark void a place where the beam of light can be intensely caught, without this having been perceptible before.”
—Franz Kafka

from “The Place I Want to Get Back To” by Mary Oliver
I go out to the dunes and look
and look and look
into the faces of the flowers;
and then one of them leaned forward
and nuzzled my hand, and what can my life
bring to me that could exceed
that brief moment?
—Mary Oliver
