Leonard Cohen discusses his drawings in an interview with Sarah Hampson:
The drawings are “transcendent decoration,” [Cohen] says, touching one on the pages with the tip of a forefinger. ”If it has any value at all, it’s because it’s harmless and doesn’t invite any deep intellection.” He points…

He pulled me out of the depths of the netherworld. He called me out like a rat with his euphonious speeches. And never once did he look back. If he had I would have slipped back into the darkness. Now I give him gifts: the suede bracelet and the goatskin jacket intending them to be artifacts of…
Yay. I am writing again.
I long to hold some lady
For my love is far away,
And will not come tomorrow...

So I was reading this short story in this book of Japanese literature that my boyfriend has the other day and at one point in the story they negatively describe how the girl in the story’s teeth weren’t “blackened”. I thought that was strange so I looked it up— and it was totally a thing. It was popular in Japan until the Meji-era to dye your teeth black. It was seen...

I asked my friend Tom to come to the bar where I work last night because I wanted to see if he could figure out how to block a number on my mobile.

The texts started off as flirtatious (which made me uncomfortable) then quickly grew more explicit without my encouragement as the...

I wrote a song for Sheilah to sing!
I am a woman unfolded In the tiny world of lover’s arms I know that neither of us is new I had another But he never made me bleed Royal blue the way you did That night so sweetly The touch of you Still throbs through me now If ever so lightly I thought I saw your soul In the cleft of your confession On the hotel bed Have others known your devil Or your demons? (Shut their faces Away from...

Always
I am not jealous of what came before me. Come with a man on your shoulders, come with a hundred men in your hair, come with a thousand men between your breasts and your feet, come like a river full of drowned men which flows down to the wild sea, to the eternal surf, to Time! Bring them all to where I am waiting for you; we shall always be alone, we shall always be you and I alone on...

I am the killer of my character The stars have surrounded you And now each day I wake I fray over The char of your thirst
After reading both Naomi and Quicksand I am now afraid of beautiful women. Thanks a lot, Junichiro Tanazaki. Now I think women are vampires.
