Quote

from now on cities will be built
on one side of the street

so that soothsayers
will have wilderness to wander

and lovers space enough
to contemplate a kiss

she kissed as if she, alone,
could forge the signature of the sun

I closed my eyes,
although I never knew the difference
I stood before a brighter light
at lesser distance.

— Saul Williams (via seascaping) (via beauxjours)
