Because meaning in language elides
my words
the baton
a pebble
borrowed
indefinitely they resemble another presence
before me
opening a path
and when the path is stepped on again
it is mine
and it is not
and when the path is stepped on again
it becomes a pit
to fall into

- Phoebe Giannisi
Because the moment is inconceivable
not present at all
the “present”
“that which is here”
space in place of time
the tongue speaks in absence

celebrando 
o amor exclamação
coração branco

alguém escreveu

sobre a assimilação
da norma heterossexual
em um casamento queer

amor, então é 
isso interrogação
emoji de choro
The word by itself germinates
exists
beyond our decision for silence

Leaves
Phoebe Giannisi

Inside these articulations
the beginnings of language
outside of yes and no
inside only the I want
the soul with the body meeting
in all the openly
meteoric leaves
and now, see:
one of them falls slowly
to the earth
Jamais encontrara beleza na ânsia pelo impossível e nunca constatara que o possível estava além de seu alcance. Porém agora o encontrara e não conseguia achar uma resposta.

- Ayn Rand, A revolta de Atlas, sobre Dagny
Toward a definition of wildness
Anne Marie Todkill

The fox before you saw it.
The fox before it saw you.
The fox before it knew it had been seen.
You, before you had thought of the fox.
You in the moment of seeing, when you were all fox.
While I, remembering,
all that was there, will be there still
found no word to say
I'll let it pass and hold my tongue

Memória

Luz residual
numa superfície
irrevelada
Caught afterglow thrown back from long set days, 
Caught echoes of all music passed away. 

- Christina Rossetti
no trace of memory in his eyes
- christina rossetti
O fantasma não ressuscita o passado.
Ele prova que o passado está morto.

Life might be very small victories and meanings.
Is saying “joy” a joyous thing, in and of itself?
