    Amor Linguae

    As if it could be any other way… Savoring the sublime through language experiencing the true through language Feeling the heart race at the right word a pulse flutters at such uttered language exhausted yet engaging lyricality beholden to the subtlety of language Delightful to listen to the silence as though that isn’t the first…

    Coleridgian Contrast

    not the “Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner” No wedding guests to mesmerize, nor grand stories to tell… no Albatross around my neck breaking dawn I’m no bane of goodwill birds, doomed to watch friends die… no grandiose dreams of Elysium living Just another wayfarer on the road to anywhere, soon to seek the way back…
