narratrix: And when the faithful look at her, what they call beauty or divinity has the mournful gaze of sacrifice—as if that face looking into the darkness could only feel the absence of herself. Although, she never did say that she wanted to be alone. She said that she wanted to be left alone. “There is all the difference.”

How We Work

SHE: please don't let me fall in love with him again.
HE: you can't fall in love with him again! It's--it's something like double jeopardy!
SHE: can't be killed twice?
ME: no, you can't be tried twice for killing someone. So go for the jugular.
HE: no! Oh, God! You've turned this into a weird Scorpio thing! You over-extended the metaphor! It's over--kill it!
ME: yes! Again! Do it again!

His heart was growing full of broken wings and artificial flowers,” wrote poet Federico Garcia Lorca. “In his mouth, just one small word was left.” There were times during the first half of June when I was tempted to borrow those words to describe you, Cancerian. Now, thankfully, you’re moving into a much brighter phase. The buds that are about to bloom in your heart are very much alive, not artificial, and your wings, while not fully restored to strength, are healing. Meanwhile, your mouth is even now being replenished with a fresh supply of many vivid words.End quote.

—Rob Brezsny [And suck it, Lorca!]
