"Unexpected Storm", Paruyr Sevak (translated By Tathev Simonyan)
"Unexpected Storm", Paruyr Sevak (translated By Tathev Simonyan)
text id: And the more I drank, 
the more grew her charm.
She became so lovely–can’t remember now
What she looked like before, anyhow.

Then, as we went out, it seemed to me as if
text id: Rather than a dress, she was wearing a storm.
Then… the storm moved to me, inside of me,
Then… I passed it to her,
Through my fingers—through her arm.
Then… that storm swept us both away,
text id: Tumbling us I don’t know where,
Breaking some door with a key,
And, utterly exhausted and drained,
The storm went ahead and lay on the bed,
A massive storm on a narrow bed,
To rest its head …
text id: It rested when … the morning was breaking …

Now,  before that very  bed,
I’m examining the traces of that storm
Not on the bed, but inside me! Now
text id: I’m knee-deep within myself – 
Like a tree in the ground,
I’m swaying in place.
Inside me, thoughts start to take root,
Arboreal thoughts, thoughts of a tree.
And like a tree, I cannot leave
text id: The ground where I’m rooted deep.
Now,  how do I break,
How do I break myself from myself
And rise to leave?
Like a walking tree?

In the slow world of dream,
We breathe in unison.
The outside dies within,
And she knows all I am

“Sometimes people try to destroy you, precisely because they recognize your power — not because they don’t see it, but because they see it and they don’t want it to exist.”

not to get all sad for no reason but something nobody tells you about growing up is that a part of you is just a little girl who is yelling ‘please like me please love me please tell me i am good’ at everyone you meet and most of your day is just trying to ignore her

"I was at the oscars once in the third or fourth row with Diane Keaton. I was a little high. I had to pee - Bad. I was popping Valium like candy. I was praying, 'please don't let it be me, please.'"
