Motivated: A Zuihitsu
Metadata
Highlights
- I struggle to live. I carry time like earrings
Falling in chandeliers around me. I struggle
To hear myself knocking on the other side of the door.
And the year, in its infancy, crawls up and asks me
To hold it without crushing it.
To cradle its face, which marks me
With a trace resemblance.
My skin feels it and asks:
How much of this earth can hold you
Long enough before you ignite?
How much paradise can you bear? (View Highlight)
