The arms that had learned to gesture in a particular way are unmade; the hands that held within them not just blood and bone but the movements that made possible the playing of the piano ate unmade; the fingers and palms that knew in intricate detail the weight and feel of a particular tool are unmade; the feet that had within them' 'by heart'' (that is, as a matter of deep bodily habit) the knowledge of how to pedal a bicycle are unmade; the head and arms and back and legs that contained within them an elaborate sequence of steps in a certain dance are unmade; all are deconstructed along with the tissue itself, the sentient source and site of all learning.

Victor Lodato, "Hey Stranger, Here's My Heart" (2024)

It’s as if I no longer know where I am, even who I am. Maybe because my sense of self has always been defined by the giving of love. The formulation, for me at least, has never been “I exist, therefore I love” but rather “I love, therefore I exist.”

So what am I to do now that those I loved best have vanished?
