I’m making nothing happen but my own drool, drooling, gaping, chomping at the ing ing ing. I make a nothing that whirs into being, feedback looping into a buzz saw of nothing, dome of nothing. So big it rises. Big enough to keep my people safe from the catastrophes that rain from planes. Before each catastrophe, a moment in which my people are safe. Refuge of nothing. Refuge of uneventfulness. First days, then days, and days. In a dead tree’s heart, an empty space. In the space, a small animal, useless beautiful animal, stretching its wings, wings, wings. . .
Franny Choi, The World Keeps Ending, and the World Goes On - Upon Learning That Some Korean War Refugees Used Partially Detonated Napalm Canisters as Cooking Fuel

fatima aamer bilal, except from all hunger is, is love.
[text id: it was inevitable. // you could have marched towards me, parading your teeth like hands, tearing all the meaningless flesh apart, turning my ribs inside, and taking a bite out of my heart—// and i would have done nothing, not when i couldn’t look past your eyes. // so warm. even the sun yearns to bask in them. // sick. sick. sick. how i would have waited for you to take another bite. then another. another. devour me whole. all hunger is, is love.]

And Sometimes while making memories with people~
For one those memories are just a small part of their life ,
But for the other those memories become their whole life....~K.Y 💗
