Used to displacement, one makes a fetish of abandon.

Pardon me my being, so evasive. Truth is every border is a trap.

- Chekwube Danladi

Since claiming absence as a desperate purity, keeping it casual comes true.

- Chekwube Danladi

I existed triply: I occupied space. I moved toward the other … and the

evanescent other, hostile but not opaque, transparent, not there, disappeared.

- Franz Fanon

  Lord,

              when you send the rain

              think about it, please,

              a little?

      Do

              not get carried away

              by the sound of falling water,

              the marvelous light

              on the falling water.

          I

              am beneath that water.

              It falls with great force

              and the light

Blinds

              me to the light.

- James Baldwin

My name, my pronoun — a grey void.

and what’s this you’re going to do

i’m going to hide behind language

and why is that

i’m afraid

(Don’t let me die

without seeing you again.)

- Alejandra Pizarnik

The terrified shapes died and there was no

longer an outside or an inside. No one was listening

to that place because it did not exist.

Antes

Alejandra Pizarnik

bosque musical

los pájaros dibujaban en mis ojos

pequeñas jaulas

llévame entre las dulces sustancias

que mueren cada día en tu memoria

- alejandra pizarnik

tú me desatas los ojos

y por favor

que me hables

siempre

- alejandra pizarnik

En tu aniversario

Alejandra Pizarnik

Recibe este rostro mío, mudo, mendigo.

Recibe este amor que te pido.

Recibe lo que hay en mí que eres tú.

— o que vem à sua cabeça quando

digo a palavra amor?

e ela responde

que amor em japonês

se diz /ai/.

- marília garcia

thank You for letting me know what this is like
