It is a melancholy day.

I am not a big poetry fan, but I think I would consume Pablo Neruda, were it socially appropriate to do so.

If You Forget Me by Pablo Neruda

Also, Google's logo today says that it's Luciano Pavarotti's birthday.

Oh. Pablo. I agree with you completely. I have been a fan since 7th grade and used to send his poems to my crushes. :)

Pablo Neruda is serioiusly awesome. I'd join you in consuming him. :-) Rumi's lovely too.

It is... SO appropriate.

I crave your mouth, your voice, your hair.
Silent and starving, I prowl through the streets.
Bread does not nourish me, dawn disrupts me, all day
I hunt for the liquid measure of your steps.

I hunger for your sleek laugh,
your hands the color of a savage harvest,
hunger for the pale stones of your fingernails,
I want to eat your skin like a whole almond.

I want to eat the sunbeam flaring in your lovely body,
the sovereign nose of your arrogant face,
I want to eat the fleeting shade of your lashes,

and I pace around hungry, sniffing the twilight,
hunting for you, for your hot heart,
like a puma in the barrens of Quitratue.


I love him. I do I do.

Why would it not be socially appropriate?

Well, I mean like in the cannibal way.
