"...the uncomfortable truth of libraries throughout the ages: no society has ever been satisfied with the collections inherited from previous generations. What we will frequently see in this book is...neglect and redundancy, as books and collections they represented the values and interests of one generation fail to speak to the one that follows."

Beautiful You

I've been thinking of beautiful things
Since you've gone - like how

beautiful clouds
don't last in the sky, and

beautiful rivers
in due course run dry - like how

beautiful lovers
must say their goodbyes, because

beautiful things,
they all have their time - but

if you need to get laid, I'm not seeing anyone.

Just throwing that out there.

from Unconditional Fires

Love,
no matter how grand,
is never a house,
though it could be a kitchen.

The kitchen is important,
though in the event the house were to burn,
leaving an exposed and miraculously intact kitchen,
it is not a place to live anymore.

If you are resourceful
and find use in the surviving love,
it does not have to corrode there in the burnt bones
of a once-was house.

New Moon, Who This?

Tonight, the moon is a knife trick set on debridement,
hand over everything she asks for
even and especially everything that will hurt to release
What is your will return to you with the tangles removed
and won't that be lovely?
What doesn't return was only ever visiting.
