my voice tries to find the wind to touch her hearing. / another’s. she will be another’s. as she was before my kisses. / her voice, her bright body. her infinite eyes. / i no longer love her, that’s certain, but maybe i love her. / love is so short, forgetting is so long.

in certified copy when juliette binoche pleads, & persists, in her “remember?” to shemill, like when june gehringer wrote, “the worst part of love is that i remember it” it’s like, the aloneness of grieving something that is not dead and dying still. it’s like john murillo’s “maybe memory is all the home you get” & yet, memory is re-constructive, it is a refraction of reality. it is a copy. but if it makes you feel just the same, does that matter? is it enough, will it ever be? even so, is it the worst part?

o sanam’s “आँखों में बसी हो” & choo lo’s “नज़रों में तुम हो बसे” & kabhi toh muskura’s “बस जाना चाहता हूँ, रह जाना चाहता हूँ” and just the idea of living in someone’s eyes. of making a home, staying, settling. the habit in inhabiting. being told, mine, bas you are mine, you reside in my eyes

...for the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs.
