Salma al-Khadra al-Jayyusi, tr. by Mona Fayad, from The Poetry of Arab Women: A Contemporary Anthology; “The sky the moon lost”
Romanian is such a weird language. We literally call devils saints with horns. I don't know its just... funny to me how pleonasms are part of our informal language...
The chaotic urge to let your boyfriend fall asleep next to you, just to draw him and describe, in artistic poetic detail, on the back of the drawing, just how enchanting and beautiful you find him while he's so at peace, just to justify why you where staring and drawing him in his sleep like you're his stalker not his partner.
