This thing built you out of mischief and emotions, dipped your feet in ink, and you've been running around ever since, while I follow along and try to read away my loneliness. Or maybe all this time we've been living together in this thing's winking left eye, where we swim around and take turns drowning, take turns trying to resuscitate one another.

The question of what it is or what to call it will never be settled. So let's let its name be an amorphous, meandering thing. Let's let the sound that signifies it be whatever music, in this moment, we love and are lifted by, lifted into knowledge of our shared impossibility.

i love this piece, and i wanted to insanely protect the feeling i got when i read it so that it wouldn't fade off too quickly. i wish more pieces could invoke that. you amazing writer you.
