"Leave the lights off and on,
I feel mysterious tonight,"
she says.

"Every time you look different,"
replies her careful ecstasy.


Practice makes perfect,
and from chaos comes ๐Ÿ’‹ (kissing).
She floats free from
her own body's outer reaches:
The mirrorball and the mystic circle.
The mirrorball is a light
for attracting attention.
The mystic circle
is an unsustainable trance.

"Will I dream during the process?" she asks.

"Only if you know the wild that wants you," chants the infinite unsayable yes.

I can see the
Unfinished man
In pencil
That drawing that's missing
somethingย ย 
The outline of you
The curves of you forming
But still not whole
Still seeing who you might be
What moves you make
I can even see where
You have been erased
Mistakes have been drawn over
Paper is worn a little
Even torn
But
I'll be patient
I'll wait
For you to fill in
Get your lines straight
For you to be complete

And
Drawn in ink
Inspired by my nieces incomplete anatomy drawings in pencil

Come and stay with me
in Hammerfest

A compact town
a compact love

The harbor and your heart
within walking distance of each other

White night
civil twilight

A disc rather than a point

Where the multiple exposure
of your first day smile
never subsides

Did you say that you didn't get everything you wished for?
That's good that it turned out that way.
Because even if all of your wishes had come true, you still would have said the same thing.

Everyone I know
Seems to be broken
One way or another
Broken bodies
Broken hearts
Broken minds
Broken souls
In this broken world
And you know what
I am broken too
But if we can wait to heal
Our broken parts and not be tired of waiting.
If we can keep our heads up when all else comes apart
If we can watch the things we gave our life to, broken,
If we can trust ourselves
When all men doubt us
But make allowance for their
Doubting too,
    And stoop and repairing our cracks with dust of gold and hold on
Like a Kintsugi art
Indeed, my brothers and sisters
We can become more beautiful
More stronger than all of the doubters
In this broken world

Exactly because
We have been broken

Dear death,

I have met life,
He wants me to fight,
But I'm so weak-
So can we meet?
