His Wife
rabbit-light:
My wife is not afraid of dirt. She spends each morning gardening, stooped over, watering, pulling weeds, removing insects from her plants and pinching them until they burst. She won’t grow marigolds or hollyhocks, just onions, eggplants, peppers, peas – things we can eat. And while she sweats I’m working on my poetry and flute. Then growing tired of all that art, I’ve strolled out...

“You need to take the lovely wife to the beach near your hotel tonight right...”
– The mayor of America’s third largest city, doling out advice to my friend, who works for him and is on his honeymoon.
That’s bad for your fucking eyes.

AND YOU PEOPLE WONDER WHY I LOVE THIS FLAWLESS BITCH.

A Love Poem
sublimate:
to a map
Maps are never skin. I know that you’re only a guide but I prefer to pretend otherwise. Lean over, let me slide my hand under the couplings of letters and numbers that cinch your stockings together. Let me spread you open, let me undo the tangle of rivers, interstates, and country roads until they spill out soft as hair across my lap. The rustle of sheets hangs...

The Last Supper by Rilke
aperfectcommotion:
They are assembled around him, troubled and confused. He seems withdrawn, as if, strangely, he were flowing past those to whom he had belonged. The old aloneness comes over him. It had prepared him for his deep work. Now once again he will go out to the olive groves. Now those who love him will flee from him. He had bid them come to this last meal. Their hands on the bread...
Stendhal Syndrome
aperfectcommotion:
A psychosomatic illness that causes rapid heartbeat, dizziness, fainting, confusion and even hallucinations when an individual is exposed to art, usually when the art is particularly beautiful or a large amount of art is in a single place. The term can also be used to describe a similar reaction to a surfeit of choice in other circumstances, e.g. when confronted with...

Beyond Manning Up: An NYC Paramedic Speaks Out... →
chickwit:
“This is what I believe: in our heart of hearts, men are not the monsters we’ve allowed media to make us. We are infinitely wiser, more compassionate and more complex than that. Fighting against gender violence really means ending patriarchy, which for men means finding that place beyond what we’re told we’re supposed to be, beyond “manning up,” and becoming what we really...

SOOOOOO THIS HAPPENED.
I don’t know what’s so hard about keeping your mouth shut, Von Trier. We get it. You have no fucking clue how to act socially acceptable in public, THIS IS NOT NEWS TO ANYONE. You crawl out of your hidey-hole once every year to make a movie and then you cry over some Wagner tunes and crawl back in. It’s been a good life for you. People generally think...

– Brett Martin, June 2011 GQ (via rubenesquewaitress)
It’s like I wrote this article myself. I have dreams about this. But I want to fix the unnecessary commas in that first sentence segment.
