"Perhaps it’s love, which makes of one mind, two;
and of two, one, if only for a moment’s span.
On love, perhaps, the whole of life may stand.
Why come to Earth? Why wander through,
in bodies made of bone and slime and rust?
Love justifies the rest. It must."

“It can be difficult to see the power of poetry in our lives because the fact is, we are bogged down in all the things poetry is meant to resist. To gather what is needed to pull ourselves out of the morass of contemporary life and begin to see what is meant by poetry is a nearly impossible task, especially since, in the so-called age of information, we are drowning in other language systems that are the very opposite of poetry.” https://www.bloodhoneylit.com/wander-lines/the-poetics-of-the-street-and-the-language-of-counter-power #Poetry #counterpower and more
