anti-brevity.

[Things slowly curve out of sight
until they are gone.] Afterwards
only the curve
remains.

— Richard Brautigan, “The Curve of Forgotten Things” (via the-final-sentence)

you tilt your head back
you breathe
when your heart is broken you plant seeds in the cracks
and you pray for rain
and you teach your sons and daughters
there are sharks in the water
but the only way to survive
is to breathe deep
and dive

— Andrea Gibson (via rarararambles)
