listen. it’s 2018. it’s time to admit, finally, that bbc sherlock is, in fact, bad, and was only good because we watched it when we were 15 and didn’t know how to dismantle scripts that SOUND clever but are really just gold-flake covered shit
the word lover is so infinitely soft. So universal. So timeless. Two girls with awkward, hungry hands. A boy and a girl in the dark. Two men in empty light. A marriage of 40 years. Letters over eons. Sappho’s poems. The corner of a mouth. Lovers, lovers, lovers.
I just recited this in Spanish for myself and I felt like a proper poet for the first time
la palabra amante es infinitamente suave. Tan universal. Tan atemporal Dos chicas con manos torpes y hambrientas. Un niño y una niña en la oscuridad. Dos hombres con luz vacía. Un matrimonio de 40 años. Cartas de más de eones. Poemas de Safo. La esquina de una boca. Amantes, amantes, amantes.
