dictum

all artistry is an act of translation
beauty is not fleeting
silence is a form of generosity
lace is a woman’s web

the best magic is restraint
time is a graceful suicide
confusion is fertile ground
mystery is not fragile

a kiss is a portal
chemistry is not love
home is where the art is
absence is a form of presence

naming is an act of recognition
the discipline of love is not passive
people are not meant to be solved

the sky is a matter of fact
earth is a revolving door
the silver lining is torn

levity is rebellion
cremation is a cure
heartbreak is trending

the break is the blossom
the best pedestal is the floor
love is a war you will lose

You make me hard

Pressed to go about my day

Want to pin you to the wall

Like a thangka, 

Still wet when you touch it

Made for the altar

Meant to be worshipped

(In a way)

Like the View

From my knees

(science is magical realism

romance is generally haunted

infinity is none of your business

my therapist is out of her league

this dream is getting long)
