Artemis

Let’s not have tea. White wine eases the mind along the slopes of the faithful body, helps

any memory once engraved on the twin chromosome ribbons, emerge, tentative from the archaeology of an excised past.

I am a woman who understands the necessity of an impulse whose goal or origin still lie beyond me. I keep the goat

for more than the pastoral reasons. I work in silver the tongue-like forms that curve round a throat

an arm-pit, the upper thigh, whose significance stirs in me like a curviform alphabet that defies

decoding, appears to consist of vowels, beginning with O, the O- mega, horseshoe, the cave of sound. What tiny fragments

survive, mangled into our language. I am a woman committed to a politics of transliteration, the methodology

of a mind stunned at the suddenly possible shifts of meaning–for which like amnesiacs

in a ward on fire, we must find words or burn.

~ Olga Broumas

An anonymous request: "for when you love(d) someone, but you know they're better off without you"

“It ends or it doesn’t. That’s what you say. That’s how you get through it. The tunnel, the night, the pain, the love. It ends or it doesn’t. If the sun never comes up, you find a way to live without it. If they don’t come back, you sleep in the middle of the bed, learn how to make enough coffee for yourself alone. Adapt. Adjust. It ends or it doesn’t. It ends or it doesn’t. We do not perish.”

Letters from Medea, Salma Deera (via) // Hope You're Well. Please Don't Read This., Lev St. Valentine (via) // It Ends or it Doesn’t, Caitlyn Siehl // Little Weirds, Jenny Slate //Sue Zhao // Litany in Which Certain Things Are Crossed Out, Richard Siken // Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal?, Jeanette Winterson (via) // Beginning with O; “Love Lines”, Olga Broumas (via) // Wax 'N' Wayne, Eileen Myles

[…] the psychic work necessary to conceive of an angel is more painful and frightening than that which manages to midwife demons […]

my heart wants you, i want your heart more

Olga Broumas Beginning with O; "Love Lines" / Louise Glück excerpt from Poems 1962-2012 / Cesare Saccaggi Incipit Vita Nova - Dante (1903) / Dean Cornwell The Other Side (1918) / Yves Olade excerpt from Bloodsport / Kelly Quindlen She Drives Me Crazy / Elizabeth Jane Gardner Bouguereau Daphnis and Chloe (1882) / unknown / Sarah J. Maas excerpt from Queen of Shadows / Cigarettes After Sex Nothing's Gonna Hurt You, Baby

i. Olga Broumas, Love Lines

[ "the water is tender, green, curls / softly innocent, a lazy noose in the sunlight / i loved you, i know // now, water swells / wood, lungs, i loved you, i go" ]

ii. Louise Gluck, Poems 1962-2012

[ "I pretended indifference / even in the presence of love, in the presence of hunger. / And the more deeply I felt / the less able I was to respond." ]

iii. Cesare Saccaggi, Incipit Vita Nova - Dante

[ Cropped image of a painting by Cesare Saccaggi. A woman holds two flowers to her chest with her left hand and reaches over to hold a man's hand with her right. ]

iv. Dean Cornwell, The Other Side

[ A woman with large wings wearing a white dress and a veil leans upwards to kiss a man wearing red robes. ]

v. Yves Olade, Bloodsport

[ "You can have my heart if you have the stomach to take it. Kiss me hard enough to invert me." ]

vi. Kelly Quindlen, She Drives Me Crazy

[ " 'I hate you,' I say. Then I kiss her and kiss her and kiss her." ]

vii. Elizabeth Jane Gardner Bouguereau, Daphnis and Chloe

[ Painting of two women. One wears a white dress, holding a flower crown to her head as she looks down at a woman in a brown dress. The woman wearing brown has her arm wrapped around the other woman's waist and is placing flowers on the other woman's lap. ]

viii. unknown

[ Cropped image of a painting. Two hands reach towards each other and are intertwined. ]

ix. Sarah J. Maas, Queen of Shadows

[ "They joined hands. / So the world ended. / And the next one began." ]

x. Cigarettes After Sex, Nothing's Gonna Hurt You, Baby

[ "[Chorus] / Nothing's gonna hurt you baby / As long as you're with me you'll be just fine / Nothing's gonna hurt you baby / Nothing's gonna take you from my side" ]
