My name, my pronoun — a grey void.

- Alejandra Pizarnik 

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.

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

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/.

thank You for letting me know what this is like

Non-existence

D.H. Lawrence

We don’t exist unless we are deeply and sensually in touch 

with that which can be touched but not known. 

Most people, today, are chimaera 

chimerical: 

just fantasies of self-importance 

their own self-importance 

and sphinxes of self-consciousness. 

- D.H. Lawrence

A truth should exist,

it should not be used

like this. If I love you

is that a fact or a weapon?

- Margaret Atwood
