i would certainly have died in other people's."

locked in

"i thought how unpleasant it is to be locked out;

and i thought how it is worse, perhaps, to be locked in."

-virgina woolf

the vivid tulips

"...nobody watched me before, now i am watched.

the tulips turn to me, and the window behind me

where once a day the light slowly widens and slowly thins

and i see myself, flat, ridiculous, a cut-paper shadow

between the eye of the sun and the eyes of the tulips,

and i have no face, i have wanted to efface myself.

the vivid tulips eat my oxygen..."
