With That Moon Language
Admit something:
Everyone you see, you say to them, "Love me."
Of course you do not do this out loud, otherwise someone would call the cops.

with that sweet moon language,
what every other eye in this world is dying to hear?
~Hafiz/Ladinsky trans.

Not Loving is a letting go.
Listen,
The terrain around here
Is
Far too
Dangerous
For

"...how hard it must be to live only with what one knows and what one remembers, cut off from what one hopes for!... There can be no peace without hope."
