I'll try anything once

Strangers kiss softly as moths, she thought.

I knew that I was dying. Something in me said, go ahead, die, sleep, become as them, accept.

Then something else in me said, no, save the tiniest bit. It needn’t be much, just a spark. A spark can set a whole forest on fire. Just a spark.
Save it.

—Charles Bukowski  (via lavandula)

I believed that I wanted to be a poet, but deep down I just wanted to be a poem.
