Federico García Lorca, tr. by Sarah Arvio, from Selections; “Autumn Song,”

Against thy strength, Distance, and length; Do what thou canst for alteration: For hearts of truest mettle Absence doth still, and Time doth settle.

blue lily, lily blue — there is no good word for the opposite of lonesome. one might be tempted to suggest togetherness or contentment, but the fact that these two other words bear definitions unrelated to each other perfectly displays why lonesome cannot be properly mirrored. it does not mean solitude, nor alone, nor lonely, although lonesome can contain all of those words in itself. lonesome means a state of being apart. of being other. alone-some. adam was not always alone, but he was always lonesome. he knew he was different since aligning himself more tightly with the ley line this summer. he was himself, but more powerful. himself, but less human.

“There need never be any rules between us. Let us be greedy together; let us hoard. Let us hit each other with birch branches and lock each other in dungeons; let us drink each other’s blood in the night and betray each other in the sun. Let us lie and lust and take hundreds of lovers; let us dance until snow melts beneath us. Let us steal and eat until we grow fat and roll in the pleasures of life, clutching each other for purchase. Only leave me my death — let me hold this one thing sacred and unmolested and secret — and I will serve you a meal myself, served on a platter of all the world’s bounty. Only do not leave me, swear that you will never leave me, and no empress will stand higher.”

(Catherynne M. Valente, Deathless)

Necesito arrancarme de raíz

Y florecer de nuevo, cuidándome más.
