amazons always win, amazzonomachia, Italian sex term, quote unquote, who ever said sex terms lacked imagination?, woman rider
AMAZZONOMACHIA: literally, ‘woman rider,’ one of my favorite Italian words. What we call the ‘Cowgirl’ position in English sex terms they reenact as the mythical battle between the Ancient Greeks and the Amazons.

Love that is dead and buried, yesterday
out of his grave rose up before my face.
No recognition in his look, no trace
of memory in his eyes dust-dimmed and grey.

and yet you're still an asshole, Cymbalta, duloxetine, exhausted Z is exhausted, once ruined always ruined, shame, this is non-stop, yet that’s not an excuse
Cymbalta: a drug I didn’t want, ruining friendships I wish I could’ve kept.

Our little baby fell asleep,
and will not wake again
for days and days, and weeks and weeks;
but then he’ll wake again,
and come with his own pretty look,
and kiss Mamma again.

Of course I am not worried about intimidating men. The type of man who will be intimidated by me is exactly the type of man I have no interest in.

Give back your heart
to itself, to the stranger who has loved youall your life, whom you ignored
for another, who knows you by heart.
Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,the photographs, the desperate notes,
peel your own image from the mirror.
Sit. Feast on your life.— Derek Walcott, from “Love After Love”
Thank you, Mr Walcott.
