mortality.


does art betray the love it seeks to honor?
to wait until the last seconds to stop what has been happening since the start.
injunctions against gaze

i did not want my desire to overwhelm hers
is any memory of love not informed by mourning?
how love's hope--the sudden breath in the heart-- responds to death--the end of all breath
death is an event with both spatial and temporal location
after life before death

if only he hadn't looked back
to return without turning is akin to repeating something that has no original

When heart is gone, how can it be that I am living?


his quest seems to require her death


(nods to Peggy Phelan, as these are mostly her words, not mine.)
