Evening at the Iris Field - Timothy Easton (b.1943)
obsessed w this ("Dostoevsky as lover", Henrik Karlsson)
if the pain you caused me was something straight-forward and physical like a knife to my heart, how would i react?
in one universe i would look you dead in the eye as you twist and turn the knife inside of me instead of begging you to stop.
in another universe i would leave the knife in me until scar-tissue grows over it and it becomes part of me.
in the last universe i pull the knife out from where you put it in between my ribs and stab you with it as i bleed to death. then lick the blade and let the iron of us both be my last meal.
Herman Bogman Jr., 1890-1975

it really is insane how waking up early will grant you access to some of the most beautiful sights and sensations in the world that will make you want to live forever, but only if you overcome the gauntlet of a thousand razors that is getting out of bed early. truly one of life's little saw traps.
"live every day like it's your last": scary. weirdly foreboding. not a good thought process if you get anxious easily. stressful. so much pressure that it loops back around to making you do nothing. "live every day like it's your FIRST": everything becomes fascinating. renews the excitement of discovering things for the first time again. makes you feel like exploring stuff. #mywisdom
