the myth of the ghostships returns

What a beautiful concept. It’s funny how often we sink under the weight of our pain. To think of tears as an ocean of our own making and subject to our own belief is beautiful

Chère L.,

And you wrote it in the best possible way.
I love it a lot.
Kind regards, Gus-

I remember writing once “images of you and me never equal any semblance of we.” This caught my breath and took me back to that moment. I agree with Fia, those last lines are powerful and painful.
