I have loads of things I hyperfixate on and they vary and change over time, so an older one I had was the American transcendentalist movement that occurred in massachusetts and to be Frank with you although I was deeply interested in the ideas and philosophy of the movement in which is essentially about humans being inherently good and being at risk of corruption by society and institutions and the idea of embracing idealism and focusing on nature and being against materialism. I was more captivated by the key individuals of that movement namely Ralph Waldo Emerson, Thoreau, Hawthorne, Dickinson, and Alcott and their lifestyles I think that is something I enjoy to casually think about; the little things, like people avoiding hawthorns because he talked too much, or thoreau and Emerson getting into a heated argument but still remains best friends, or Emily dickinskin keeping up with the things written by thoreau or Emerson, or nathaniel hawthorns and his wife roaming in their garden which they called Eden, or Louise alcott having a crush on Emerson and getting flustered around him, rainy days in thoreau's cabin and imagine having a conversation with him about what he has learnt while living there, hawthorne telling Emerson that thoreau said he would teach him how to sail a boat on walden pond.

I don't know I just wanted to say that.

Digital painting of a tangerine that has been partially peeled. "YOU KISS THE BACK / OF MY LEGS AND I WANT TO CRY / ONLY THE SUN HAS / COME THIS CLOSE / ONLY THE SUN"
I am so sorry I wasn't there when you were little. I would have iced the bruises on your back.
"you say my name and i want to knit my bones into your bones, smooth away / the boundaries of our heartbeats. what i'm trying to say is that if the temperature / inside those wild pockets of interstellar dust hits right near absolute zero, / carbon monoxide and dihydrogen molecules condense together in the dark / nebula to form stars. if you're ready, i want to make you shiver like that."
"And maybe not destroying the thing you love, resisting that impulse, is the highest expression of love."
Orange-yellow shaded image of a branch of an orange tree. "I love you. I'm glad I exist."
"TELL ME / i. / about the sunlight and how it gets inside you / like fish hooks or / an old kind of hunger. / ii. / about your mother's addiction to drugstore / blush and smeared lipstick, / your father's penchant for the scent / of pipe tobacco, / how your house was a vintage animal with claws. / iii. / about the creek, your muddy feet, that time you kissed a boy / even though everyone said you shouldn't / because you were a boy too. / about the lavender sprigs you kept in a water glass / on your nightstand, / how he laughed, / how you loved him for the warmth of it."
"How do you love? / Like a fist. Like a knife."
Digital painting of a hand holding an orange. "...AND HERE IS ALL THE / LOVE / I WANTED TO GIVE YOU..."

break my arms around the one i love

i must not afternoon nap. afternoon nap is the mind-killer. afternoon nap is the little death that brings total obliteration. i will face my afternoon sleepy tired and permit it to pass over and through me. and when it has gone i will turn the inner eye to see its path. where the afternoon sleepy tired has gone there will be nothing. only i will remain
