Hello there,
I am going through my poetry
looking for lines and phases for a project I'm starting. It is interesting to revisit older writing and feel into it now. Strung together these snippets create their own kind of poem, or maybe a kind of invocation of belonging to that which is only for you.
Shall we?
1.
The delicacy of blooming should in no way be mistaken for a lack of fortitude
2.
It is possible it wont get better but perhaps that is the point perhaps it is not about it getting better at all but moving one step at a time one heart beat at a time forward into whatever this is
3.
I do not love you less because I reserve my private
sanctuary for my beloved, myself
I love you more, for I have my whole self to give
4.
Find that which wishes to be adored by you and give it twelve secret, sacred names
5.
A blessing for your week:
(The Wandering Heart Deck by Reyna Biddy, art by Muri Ribeiro)
