Yes.
“I promise to make you more alive than you’ve ever been. For the
first time you’ll see your pores opening like the gills of fish and
you’ll hear the noise of blood in galleries and feel light gliding on
your corneas like the dragging of a dress across the floor.
For the first time, you’ll note gravity’s prick like a thorn in your
heel, and our shoulder blades will hurt with the imperative of wings.
I promise to make you so alive that the fall of dust on furniture
will deafen you, and you’ll feel your eyebrows like two wounds forming
and your memories will seem to begin with the creation of the world.”
-Nina Cassian
