“I want to drink ancient liquid

from your lips, and as your fingers

trace my stories, I’ll

turn into a million

little stars, each one you’ll kiss

before its rise into the

violet evening.

I want to be eaten.”

The dichotomy between the gentle effect of tracing, kissing, and turning into stars, to the aggressive, hungry nature of wanting to be eaten is something you convey (and I feel) only too well.❤️

it's a wild experience isn't it? that tipping point from the build up of wanting to the all out NEED for the intensity of being devoured? thank you for your thoughtful words as always, my sweet friend

I love these poems, I read the first one 4x while stirring a pot of soup.

Thank you Isabel.

This image of you stirring a pot of soup while reading is reminding me of the scene in Practical Magic when Sally is stirring her coffee while writing a letter to Gillian, where she says, "I dream of a love that even time will lie down and be still for," and you see her spoon continuing to stir after she lets go.

I just feel like you fill the kitchen with magic
