love. love.

all we have
is a very. short. while.

like the brief glimmer:
(asteroid. atmosphere.)
a flame. a fizzle.
and then, gone.

so, love.
love.

Oceans.

I have a feeling that my boat
has struck, down there in the depths,
against a great thing.
And nothing
happens! Nothing...Silence...Waves...

— Nothing happens? Or has everything happened,
and are we standing now, quietly, in the new life?

- Juan Ramón Jiménez
