Έχω σήμερα πολλές δουλειές. Για μέτρα: πρέπει κάθε μνήμη ευθύς να σκοτωθεί πρέπει την καρδιά να κάνω πέτρα πρέπει πάλι τη ζωή να μάθω απ' την αρχή. - Anna Akhmatova

I know: yes, no, even I must tear off
The delicate daisy petals.
Everyone on earth is destined to feel
The torments of love.

The whole time I was hoping my silence would fit yours and exclamation marks would gently float across time and space so that boundaries would be crossed; the whole time I was praying you would read my eyes and understand what I was never able to understand. See, we were never about butterflies. We’ve always been about burning stars. All about us is unearthly and radiant.

And you know, I agree to everything:
I will condemn, I will forget, I will give comfort to the enemy,
Darkness will be light and sin lovely.
