howl allen ginsberg was like The poem that jumped at me specially the few last lines "in my dreams you walk dripping from a sea-journey on the highway across". mary oliver also appeared inmediatel specially this quote i read a few weeks ago "The ocean a blue fire /around your ankles, the sun / on your face on your shoulders its golden mouth whispering / (so it seems) you! you! you!". in the same way, who by sylvia plath "Eaten or rotten. I am all mouth." speaks to me as well as blackberrying..... rainer maria rilke with I believe "What no one has dared to dream of / will be born through me by your grace." though I like this translation by anita barrows and joanna macy best (i just cant find it fully!!). UM. oranges roisin kelly gives me omegaverse vibes i think its the focus on the sensory? this quote by Maram al-Massri is really good. and Honestly I think I might've just ignored the werewolf compotent to this at ALL so maybe these are all useless but hey. Poems! anyway linking you tag anne carson and dear birnmingham gabrielle bates because of course If the links don't work I willbe very sad.
OHHHH THANK YOUUUU just going from the quotes these seem So Good i need to deep dive into all of them wahhhh tysmm

Finn and her daughter, Emelin Garlond, two years after Endwalker.
By the incredible @felrija - she was an absolute dream to work with and I need to go lay down on the floor for a week now because having this art fully realized has taken me fully the fuck out <3

Maram al Massri (Siria, 1962). Desde 1982 reside en París, dedicada a la escritura. En su poesía, de tono onírico y sugerente y con un imaginario a caballo entre la tradición árabe y la occidental, tienen particular presencia la sexualidad y el erotismo, siempre desde una voz femenina que decide, goza y se arriesga. Este poema pertenece a su libro Te miro, traducido al español por Rafael Ortega.

Cherry on a White-tiled Floor
(Fragment from a poem by Maram Al-Massri)
The thieves of sleep
have raided my night.
One of them pitied me
and left me the morning
shining on the table.
