favorite poems
i wish i wrote the way i thought
obsessively
incessantly
with maddening hunger
i’d write to the point of suffocation
i’d write myself into nervous breakdowns
manuscripts spiralling out like tentacles into abysmal nothing
and i’d write about you
a lot more
than i should

akhal-teke
the akhal-teke is a turkmene horse. the name 'akhal' comes from the ahal region of turkmenistan. it is one of the rarest and purest horse breeds in the world. it was allegedly seen in europe (brought by the ottoman empire) at the siege of vienna for the first time. it was mentioned as 'turk's wing' in the oldest comprehensive turkish dictionary.
these horses are super durable and can go without water for 3 days. i have never seen such a fascinating, majestic, and underrated animal. yes, in my opinion, the akhal-teke is the most beautiful animal in the world. it looks like a mythological character. imageimage -
