Cattulus 85

Odi et amo.
quare id faciam, fortasse requiris?
nescio,
sed fieri sentio et excrucior*

I hate and I love.
Perhaps you ask why I do this?
I do not know,
but I feel it happen and I am torn apart.
Catullus 85 is a poem by the Roman poet Catullus. It was written for his mistress, Lesbia.  

The rendering of ambivalence regarding the subject of love and hate is done with a simplicity and disquieting surrender. It's almost as if the form itself speaks just as much as the content. I hate and I love. *Odi et amo*. That is all.

I know this feeling. I know it all too well.

You fell in love with me.

I just hope you jumped.
Not slipped.

concept
to grasp

She walks with purpose
Strides like roots,
Her naked toes break even pavement
To turn the gears at the deepest core
In her favor

She runs the wheel
Collecting coins and gold stars
Which she blows coastal with a mighty gust
Morphing trophies into sea spray

Her neurons work as spindles
Making into thread
The fibers of daydreams
And she weaves it to webs daily
Despite the destruction that comes before dawn

She is creation
She is the West Wind
Bringing bouts of turbulent change and
Opportunity?
Who knows but her?

— The End —
