James Vincent McMorrow / Follow You Down to the Red Oak Tree

I watched Third Star earlier (because I, like many, have a Benedict Cumberbatch problem), and the film was decent, but when this song came on during the credits, it hit me right in the metaphorical heart.

Cathedrals / Jump, Little Children

In the cathedrals of New York and Rome
There is a feeling that you should just go home
And spend a lifetime finding out just where that is

Stars / Barricade

Oh, how could anyone not want to rip it all apart?

Going to the Berkshires for the weekend was exactly the kind of thing that I needed, but I wish we could have stayed for a few more days. For the first time, I’m not thrilled to be back in New York.

Anais Mitchell / Untitled

I love fall weather so much, but sometimes it feels unbearably romantic.

Laura Marling / I Was Just A Card

Her show at Webster Hall on Wednesday was incredible, especially because I was right up front. The opener, Alessi’s Ark, was lovely and charming, and Laura was endearingly awkward and man, her voice.

The Decemberists / June Hymn

It’s the first day of summer and the windows are open. It is supposed to rain today but it doesn’t look like it will. Not yet, anyway.

Anaïs Mitchell / Your Fonder Heart

I want to see you half-lit in the half-light
Laughing with the whites of your dark eyes

I could not even handle how beautiful the sky was on Friday.

Bon Iver / Come Talk To Me (Peter Gabriel cover)

Listening to Bon Iver makes me want to sit against a tree next to a stream in the middle of the woods and write poetry.

Can I just go to Iceland instead of finishing all my papers and projects?

My thoughts exactly.

Variations On the Word Sleep by Margaret Atwood

I would like to watch you sleeping,

which may not happen.

I would like to watch you,

sleeping. I would like to sleep

with you, to enter

your sleep as its smooth dark wave

slides over my head

/

and walk with you through that lucent

wavering forest of bluegreen leaves

with its watery sun and three moons

towards the cave where you must descend,

towards your worst fear

/

I would like to give you the silver

branch, the small white flower, the one

word that will protect you

from the grief at the center

of your dream, from the grief

at the center I would like to follow

you up the long stairway

again and become

the boat that would row you back

carefully, a flame

in two cupped hands

to where your body lies

beside me, and as you enter

it as easily as breathing in

/

I would like to be the air

that inhabits you for a moment

only. I would like to be that unnoticed

and that necessary.
