- Peter Goldsworthy, from “Is the Mind or the Body the Problem?” (via the-final-sentence)

That will not hear us when we speak: a coolness,

A vermilioned nothingness, any stick of the mass
Of which we are too distantly a part.”

that turns into two
and then three

scrawled across a page he will never see and I find my tongue.”
