Sleep, I swear

there’s no one else—
raise me up

in the near-night
& set me like

a tin toy to work,
clanking in the bare

broken bright.
Kevin Young, from “Serenade” (via the-final-sentence)

… for though we wish to live
utterly alive, within our skins,
there lives in us another yearning—
that whatever harmonic is awakened in us,
reverberate outwards,
through our voice, our step,
and outwards
and outwards.
Moya Cannon, from “Harmonic Vases” (via proustitute)

Ingrid Michaelson was amazing. I’m so glad I decided to go at the last minute—her performance was stunning.
