I am full of nouns and verbs; I don’t know how to live any other way. I am a tooth-
like thing. I am half sun half moon, and the scissors used to cut away the steamed
lotus leaves. I am honey strokes spreading over the tiles.
Certain languages contain more kinds of rain than others, and I have eaten them
all.

In the winter I don’t have a body so when the spring comes it’s hard but then by summer I say okay fine I have a body and I throw it into water and feel better
I think the fast paced society we live in currently has brainwashed me into thinking i can upgrade myself and my life just as fast as when i restart my computer or phone. I have forgotten the natural cycles of life… how the moon takes her time to be full or how the crops take their time to grow their fruits.

“loving you is effortless. like riding a bike or tying your shoes for the thousandth time. loving you is like singing along to my favorite song. it is not forced, it is not laborious, it is not a chore. even in our darkest hour when you ask me if i still love you the word yes will fall from my mouth as quickly and as easily as if i were asked my own name. loving you is effortless. nothing has ever come more naturally to me.”
