kathleenthebear:
I can’t make the hills The system is shot I’m living on pill For which I thank God
I follow the course From chaos to art Desire the horse Depression the cart
I sailed like a swan I sank like a rock But time is long gone Past my laughing stock

talkingof:
Oh the sisters of mercy, they are not departed or gone. They were waiting for me when I thought that I just can’t go on. And they brought me their comfort and later they brought me their song. Oh I hope you run into them, you who’ve been travelling so long. Yes you who must leave everything that…
goodpoetry:
This undemanding love that our staggered births have purchased for us— You in your generation, I in mine. I am not the one you are looking for, You are not the one I’ve stopped looking for. How sweetly time disposes of us as we go arm in arm over the Bridge of Details: Your turn to chop. My turn to cook. Your turn to die for love. My turn to resurrect.
Leonard Cohen

A Limited Degree

As soon as I understood (even to a limited degree) that this is G-d’s world I began to lose weight immediately At this very moment I am wearing my hockey uniform from the Sixth Grade

Mother Mother - Leonard Cohen
an-arm-a-leg:
My mother isn’t really dead. Neither is yours. I’m so happy for you. You thought your mother was dead, And now she isn’t. What about your father? Is he well? Don’t worry about any of your relatives. Do you see the insects? One of them was once your dog. But do not try to pat the ant. It will be destroyed by your awkward affection. The tree is trying to touch me. It used to be an...
