this life gives us only so many hours to share & how we share, i worry, is wasteful-Sunday night & the tv on, so we don't look at each other. on screen some reality tv stars threaten to choke each other out. my love, we are bad television, happy as we are to hold hands & eat greasy pizza together during these small breaths before Monday arrives like a fist.

— Josè Olivarez, "Sunday Love" in "Promises of Gold" (Henry Holt & Company, February 14, 2023) (via Alive on All Channels)

when josé olivarez said “i once killed a plant because i gave it too much water, lord i worry that love is violence” and when mahmoud darwish said “If the olive trees knew the hands that planted them, their oil would become tears.” and when oscar wilde said “I have given away my whole soul to someone who treats it as if it were a flower to put in his coat.”

I killed a plant once because I gave it too much water.

Lord, I worry that love is violence.

[crayonblues]

where’s my teenage dream it’s too cold tonight and all my friends are three years away and I don’t want to be individual on my own and I love you it’ll pass but let the rabbit have some bagel but it’s too much water and I worry love is violence but where do I put it and do you make the poets choice and choose the memory but I forgot to text you on your birthday and I could still recognize your laugh anywhere but nothing gold can stay
