so clinging love
gather now the pieces of
this wounded heart
shattered to galaxy bits
for the lust of another

Both of these made an impact: the mask poem because it made me think about the way we model behavior and the glass poem because it chimes with the idea that we're constantly being sold things/people to lust after to the detriment of what we are/have. Much to think about. Hope you're having a good week!

I am remembering a time when lust for ‘things’ wasn’t as prevalent ~~ the lust between humans, universal / forever. Cheers.
