And Yes I Said Yes I Will Yes.

I half wish to find a comfortable cave and live there for the whole of my existence but as that is an unlikely occurrence- I suppose I should join the rest of the human race and begin a blog. That doesn't mean I look down on any of you less. I am simply proving I can do it better. The Name is Olivia. I live the whole world wide. I like conspiracies, beautiful language, and things that give me leverage. Memento Mori: I'm ready for what's next.

In Omnia Paratus   I'm Bland Looking. Like Rice.
On the phone my mother says she has been sorting
her late darling’s cloths—and it BREAKS
my HEART, and then there are soft sounds,
as if she’s been lowered down, into
a river of music. I’m not unhappy,
she says, this is better for me than church,
her voice through her tears like the low singing
of a watered plant long not watered,
she lets me hear what she feels. I could be in a
cradle by the western shore of a sea, she could
be a young or ancient mother.
Now I hear the melody
of the one bound to the mast. It had little
to do with me.
The Music, by Sharon Olds
