I woke up with your heart

in my mouth

Your name slipping from my mind

Travel makes one modest. You see what a tiny place you occupy in the world.

Everything is a diary...

Your handwriting. The way you walk.

Which china pattern you choose.

It’s all giving you away. Everything you do shows your hand.

Everything is a self-portrait. Everything is a diary.

Love...

Love never dies a natural death.

It dies because we don’t know how to replenish its source.

It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals.

It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.”

― Anaïs Nin

Stops and starts….

Sometimes I’m terrified of my heart; of its constant hunger for whatever it is it wants.

The way it stops and starts.

— Edgar Allan Poe
