Sometimes I’ll visit in your sleep
as an unexpected and unwanted guest.
Don’t leave me outside on the road -
don’t bar the doors.
I will come in quietly. Slowly, I will sit down,
and I will gaze into the dark to see you.
Once I’ve looked at you for long enough -
I will kiss you, and then leave you.
– Nikola Vaptsarov, tr. by @toronea

I can’t let motherfuckers know I got desires or they’ll think I suck
thinking about how all of my worst mistakes, grief, bad recipes, etc were also born out of love
