elkin-broches

October 13, 2025

I offered the broches you say when you see a rainbow, when you eat ripe fruit, when you hear good news, when you laugh out loud, when you buy new clothes, when you kiss a woman, when you repair an appliance, when you touch a giant, when you smell sweet wood.

Thought:

“Like beautiful bodies of the dead who had not grown old

and they shut them, with tears, in a brilliant mausoleum,

with roses at the head and jasmine at the feet –

this is what desires resemble that have passed

without fulfillment; without any of them having achieved

a night of sensual delight, or a morning of brightness.”
