Mt. Tamalpais, California // Paul Bundy

the thing about being an adult is every time you turn around some shit gotta be “renewed”. tags. licenses. passports. like i’m the same bitch doing the same shit

It’s about intrinsic loneliness like, a loneliness that feels like coming home

Ben Stahl’s illustrations for Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House.

"You might say a poem is a semicolon, a living semicolon, what connects the first line to the last, the act of keeping together whose nature is to fly apart. Between the first and last lines there exists—a poem—and if it were not for the poem that intervenes, the first and last lines of a poem would not speak to each other. 

Would not speak to each other. Because the lines of a poem are speaking to each other, not you to them or they to you."

—Mary Ruefle, from "On Beginnings" in Madness, Rack, and Honey (2012)
