Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass

by Lana Del Rey

May my eyes always stay level to the horizon may they never gaze as high as heaven to ask why

The whys in this lifetime i’ve found are inconsequential compared to the magic of the nowness which is the solution to most questions

there’s things you still don’t know about me like sometimes i’m afraid my sadness is too big

there are things you still don’t know about me like sometimes i’m afraid my sadness is too big and that one day you might have to help me handle it

All of this circumnavigating the earth was to get back to my life 6 trips to the moon for my poetry to arise I’m not a captain I’m not a pilot I write I write.

inside my stomach the cosmos are baking
