« of ginger, quivering at the bottom of a pan.

Burnt. Over-boiled. 

When can you tell this about tenderness:

that it’s burnt past its cooking point? »

Oh these lines… 🤍

You write from my own heart dear Trivana - this is just beautiful X

These poems are beautiful. Especially the image of bruised hands healing despite their own condition, still full of love for something greater. Thank you.

AHHH this line, such a valid question, but captured so gently and abruptly at the same time.

this line, "everyone leaves. what we give is forgotten" - it's so beautiful and sobering. as is the imagery of the busyness of the hands, aching as attachments and gifts and time are let go. <3
