— great spangled fritillary

— Matilda, 1996 Dir. Danny DeVito

“Pale september, I wore the time like a dress that year, the autumn days swung soft around me, like cotton on my skin, but as the embers of the summer lost their breath and disappeared, my heart went cold and only hollow rhythms resounded from within, but then he rose, brilliant as the moon in full, and sank in the burrows of my keep, and all my armor falling down in a pile at my feet, and my winter giving way to warm, as I'm singing him to sleep, he goes along just as a water lily, gentle on the surface of his thoughts his body floats, unweighted down by passion or intensity, yet unaware of the depth upon which he coasts, and he finds a home in me, for what misfortune sows, he knows my touch will reap, and all my armor failing down in a pile at my feet, and my winter giving way to warm, as I'm singing him to sleep, all my armor falling down in a pile at my feet, and my winter giving way to warm, as I'm singing him to sleep, all my armour falling down in a pile at my feet, and my winter giving way to warm, as I'm singing him to sleep.”

“You are raining in, I can't escape that feeling, you're dripping into the buckets I have placed, where damage isn't already done, I saw you on bus 15, heading north to take the train, everyone looks the same, still we have different names.”

“Once my lover, now my friend, what a cruel thing to pretend, what a cunning way to condescend, once my lover, and now my friend, you creep up like the clouds, and you set my soul at ease, then you let your love abound, and you bring me to my knees, it's evil, babe, the way you let your grace enrapture me, when well you know I'd be insane to ever let that dirty game recapture me, you made me a shadowboxer, baby, I wanna be ready for what you do, I've been swinging around me, 'cause I don't know when you're gonna make your move, your gaze is dangerous, and you fill your space so sweet, if I let you get too close, you'll set your spell on me, so, darling, I just wanna say, just in case I don't come through, I was on to every play, I just wanted you, it's so evil, my love, the way you've no reverence to my concern, so I'll be sure to stay wary of you, love, to save the pain of once my flame and twice my burn, so, I'm a shadowboxer, baby I wanna be ready for what you do, and I've been swinging around at nothing, I don't know when you're gonna make your move, I'm a shadowboxer, baby, I wanna be ready for what you do, and I've been swinging around me, because I don't know when you'll make your move.”

”اکنون سال‌هاست که روزی ده بار یا بیشتر از خودم می‌پرسم که چرا اشک و فراموشی را از من دریغ داشتند؟ ولی می‌دانم که هیچکس تاکنون چیزی را از من دریغ نداشته است، جز خودم و این خود منم که سرآمد و سرور همهٔ تقصیرکارانم.“ — ملکوت، از بهرام صداقی

”بیش از هروقت و مثل همیشه دنبال فراموشی می‌گردم. باز دلم می‌خواهد فراموش کنم و هیچ نفهمم، اما، ای فراموشی، نمی‌دانم که نخواهی آمد، زیرا تو نیستی و من می‌دانم که نمی‌توان فراموش کرد، زیرا که فراموشی در جهان وجود ندارد، همچنان که هیچ‌چیز وجود ندارد...حتی گریستن.“ — ملکوت، از بهرام صادقی
