drink water

 "Zol shoyn kumen di geule"

 "When you're feeling low, take a little drink! If sorrow persists, then let's sing a song. If there is no whiskey, we can drink water. Fresh water is life itself, and what more does a Jew need?"

you are disappointed

IV

You looked for a flower

and found a fruit.

You looked for a well

and found a sea.

You looked for a woman

and found a soul -  

you are disappointed.

Edith Södergran, 1916

kindness

let it kill you

My dear,
Find what you love and let it kill you.
Let it drain you of your all. Let it cling onto your back and weigh you down into eventual nothingness.
Let it kill you and let it devour your remains.
For all things will kill you, both slowly and fastly, but it’s much better to be killed by a lover.

Charles Bukowski
