I understand that everyone has to die. Today, I found out that I didn’t think of Louise as an everyone. Safe travels to the stylish lady with the relentless lines who loved Otis Redding & Aretha Franklin & RHOA & once told me THERE ARE NO LAWS AGAINST SADNESS!

All this
belongs to you: on the other hand,
I planted the seeds

the wall of 
books that break 
the heart of a 
child open to love   
who does not yet
know desire except 
when she desires 
cathedrals of words that gather 
dust

Reality doesn’t impress me. I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, I escape, one way or another. No more walls.

A great poet gives us a great poem about a great writer & a great photographer. (And I don’t use that term lightly!) Here’s Hayes’s sonnet on Butler & Parks—read it & think. ✊🏽💜

“Don't wait for it,' I said. 'Create a world, your world. Alone. Stand alone. Create. And then the love will come to you, then it comes to you. It was only when I wrote my first book that the world I wanted to live in opened to me.”

― Anaïs Nin

“You don’t start out writing good stuff. You start out writing crap and thinking it’s good stuff, and then gradually you get better at it. That’s why I say one of the most valuable traits is persistence.”

— Octavia E. Butler

'I walk out of the theater not claiming to understand love in its entirety. Rather, I walk out reminded that love, at its core, is expansive,' writes shivani kumar on 'D-Composition: Love Is...' by D-Composed at Steppenwolf Theatre last May. buff.ly/3Y6al0c
