#i will slot this poem right into my braindome... rlly good

[demonzoro]

Hi! wanted to let you know that tag you left on your sanji baratie arc is from Have You Ever Tried to Enter the Long Black Branches? by Mary Oliver :) and if you wanted the exact quote its "Listen, are you breathing just a little, and calling it a life?" In case you wanted help remembering!

oh thank you so much!!! i've had that line living in my head ever since i saw someone's collage featuring it... but i never actually read the full poem- until now! it is genuinely so lovely, thank you for finding it for me (⸝⸝⸝´꒳`⸝⸝⸝)

every time i read mary oliver's work i feel like a dark souls banner overlay appears over my consciousness that just says 'will to live restored'
