something my six year old said today: a tongue has no bones but it can break hearts
Because right now there is someone
Out there with
a wound in the exact shape
of your words.

“Language is real. The power of it is that it gets deeper than any human touch. If I were to touch you right now, I would only get to your skin. But when I speak to you, I’m all the way through.”
