I'm becoming more a vessel of memories than a person it's a myth /that love lives in the heart it lives in the throat we push it out /when we speak when we gasp we take a little for ourselves / in books love can be war-ending a soldier drops his sword / to lie forking oysters into his enemy's mouth in life we hold love up to the light /to marvel at its impotence
