Fragile. Delicate. Vulnerable.
Love, loving: a living and repeated act.
To cultivate an ajar chest is always to tend to fertile, singular soil,
to extinguish the gap that separates us until we are one,
tearing the furrows like a sculptor of eternal memories,
sow woods and stars like someone who plants an eternal, unquenchable fire,
bathe this field in the immense river that lives and churns within,
and return to the beginning, again and again.
Fragile. Delicate. Vulnerable.
Love, to love: to believe, to cultivate, without hesitation.
Let the dawn settle in your chest and your heart burst into flame.
Fragile, delicate and vulnerable: love.
