Her wings are cut
and then she is blamed
for not knowing how to fly.

You will be loved
the day when
you will be able
to show
your weakness
without
the other person
using it
to assert
his strength.
-Cesare Pavese,

“Etreinte”
The world is a beautiful place
to be born into
if you don't mind happiness
not always being
so very much fun
if you don't mind a touch of hell
now and then
just when everything is fine
because even in heaven
they don't sing
all the time
-Lawrence Ferlinghetti
