eyes big love-crumbs

i like my body when it is with your
body. It is so quite new a thing.
Muscles better and nerves more.
i like your body. i like what it does,
i like its hows. i like to feel the spine
of your body and its bones, and the trembling
-firm-smooth ness and which i will
again and again and again
kiss, i like kissing this and that of you,
i like, slowly stroking the, shocking fuzz
of your electric fur, and what-is-it comes
over parting flesh… And eyes big love-crumbs,

and possibly i like the thrill

of under me you so quite new

-E.E. Cummings, "i like my body when it is with your"

I will be home then

But oh my love, though our bodies may be parted
Though our skin may not touch skin
Look for me with the sun-bright sparrow
I will come on the breath of the wind

sunshine, freedom, and a little flower

The summer thus far has been full of lazy days and late nights, drinking beers and smoking cigarettes, watching the sun come up with the people I love.
On the weekdays I can be found in a little shop in Manhattan's East Village, working a PR internship for boho-chic brand Elliot Mann. The brand and its boutique are utterly charming, as are the wonderful people I've come to work with, who fuel my workdays with endless cups of coffee. This past week I helped model for some shots for the website. You can tell it's me by my ridiculously goodlooking hands.

let me fly away with you

For we're creatures of the wind
And wild is the wind
So wild is the wind

I am the combined efforts of everyone I have ever known

Lovely muses




Jenny Lewis, Anna Wintour, Cat Power, Edie Sedgwick

the time has come to ramble on

The radio's making me dizzy
these nights I'd like to come to
you as a ghost
Back to a time when five dollar words
were worth so much more
when tears fell through
diamond eyes
and music moved your soul

Now that I am officially free of academic obligations for the summer, I find myself wasting away in bed til mid-afternoon. I crawl out when the sun goes down to overindulge in bad habits and good times with beautiful people.
I've spent approximately 10 hours collectively in the past few days attempting to organize the infinite abyss that is my closet. By the looks of my copious amounts of oversized menswear shirts, one would think I was a businessman by day, lumberjack by night. That combined with my 23 lbd's, and one would think I went out for drinks every night to get around with a lot of businessmen and lumberjacks, which is a lifestyle option I just might explore.

she was the still point of the turning world

"They had killed themselves over our dying forests, over manatees maimed by propellers as they surfaced to drink from garden hoses; they had killed themselves at the sight of used tires stacked higher than the pyramids; they had killed themselves over the failure to find a love none of us could ever be. In the end, the tortures tearing the Lisbon girls pointed to a simple reasoned refusal to accept the world as it was handed down to them, so full of flaws."
