THIS IS HOW YOU LOSE THE TIME WAR by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone
I want to be a body for you. I want to chase you, find you, I want to be eluded and teased and adored; I want to be defeated and victorious—I want you to cut me, sharpen me. I want to drink tea beside you in ten years or a thousand.

It’s amazing how much blue there is in the world, if you look. You’re different colors of flame: Bismuth burns blue, and cerium, germanium, and arsenic. See? I pour you into things.

the twist of you in me. the writhe. you're a whip uncoiling in my veins, and I write between the rearing and the snap. of course I write to you. of course I ate your words.

↳ “But when I think of you, I want to be alone together. I want to strive against and for. I want to live in contact. I want to be a context for you, and you for me.
I love you, and I love you, and I want to find out what that means together.”

i want to be a body for you. i want to chase you, find you, i want to be eluded and teased and adored; i want to be defeated and victorious—i want you to cut me, sharpen me. i want to drink tea beside you in ten years or a thousand. flowers grow far away on a planet they’ll call cephalus, and these flowers bloom once a century, when the living star and its black-hole binary enter conjunction. i want to fix you a bouquet of them, gathered across eight hundred thousand years, so you can draw our whole engagement in a single breath, all the ages we’ve shaped together.

Speaking of your letter. I feel—to speak of it would be to contain what it did to me, to make it small. I don’t want to do that. Even poetry, which breaks language into meaning—poetry ossifies, in time, the way trees do. What’s supple, whipping, soft, and fresh grows hard armor.
If I could touch you, put my finger to your temple and sink you into me the way Garden does—perhaps then. But I would never. So this letter instead.
