I should probably, for the love of God just cry.
For the love of more just die.
For love of course, is benign
And renegade to the tyrant Time.
Love is more than desire;
An un-dying fire.

Dear G,
Salty water separates us. Maybe that accounts for how salty you’ve been lately? But that’s none of my business. I’m supposed to write something that has lines from one of those your old songs.

Those days when GBS hadn’t done us wayo. When Andy was Lil’ Ro. And we could fight over things, my too known feminist fourteen year old self believing I had the answers to everything.

There was a time when the darkness enlightened
And the silence frightened
The mystery schooled me
So the knowledge did not elude me

Lost without, a cause or out.
I am rooted.
