 "love is an action, never simply a feeling." 
bell hooks


let us at least 
make
         something
something beautiful

some thing 
that knows nothing
that feels nothing
that is real and present

we need no ceremony
no chants, songs, words 
just a spot at least
where there is something

and let us let it stand
if it stands 
for as long as it can stand
until it is also

I will not have my life narrowed down. I will not bow down to somebody else's whim or to someone else's ignorance" - bell hooks



chilling wind in the air
dust on the lid of your eyes
blow, consume, fill
be the water to my stone
