Opposites
The soft padding of feet filled the silence
the haro accretions emptied the roar
the soft moon filled the evening
the room closed in on itself, leaving everyting harsh black/empty
from outside the light poured in, warming and illuminating their faces as the widows opened
from within a fire burns away impurities as the heart expands
leaden remains of the righteous mind
a feather is all the debauched spirit needs
the last thing this white wrist needs is tickling
Question/Answer#1
Who broke the mirror?
Luck (she was tired)
What made you ask?
An eruption in Haiti
In order to…?
On a day like any other
Where is the end of this?
At the feet of an old woman
Why do we keep trying?
Because I asked nicely the first time
Question/Answer #2
Who stole the treasure?
The man in the moon
What is cheese?
The space between dream and waking
When did she forget to close the window?
In the midst of chaos
Where will we meet again?
At the edge of the river
Why?
Because we are here and here is now

Cause, mantle, otherwise, bolster, measure, hot, put, lobbying, less, destiny, lessons, expedition, widespread, amoré (love)
Measure the cause and bolster the mantle. Manifest Destiny’s widespread lobbying put less love in lessons.
Measure hot freedom in expeditions and you wind up with otherwise.
Stew
Cause: Amoré
lobbying hot destiny
to measure widespread lessons
that put forth expedition mantle less

“Why the bag, Sammi Luca?”
Cause I want to fashion my own destiny we carry our past like a bolster of fabric—i’m rolling it out, measuring my lesson, cutting out patches and putting together the hottest little dress—it’ll fit me perfectly. That’s why I need to start moving. Around here, all we’ve got is a room full of local has-beens and won’t-bes, lobbying for widespread freedom. Then they go home to polish old trophies on dusty mantles.
I say, less talk and more walk, if you please. Otherwise, what’s the point? Me, i’m going on an expedition and that, that’s amoré.
