[ID:

Image 1: I will not mention the last time I saw you. My mouth, so far from yours, I said [italics: I am afraid I will spend entire years trying not to need you.] / As if I wasn’t certain. / As if this wasn’t my confession.

Image 2: “Now I have to remember you for longer than I have known you.”

Image 3: A painting of someone standing waist deep in water holding a crumbling figure. There are two pieces of text attached to it. First: “It’s painful, loving someone from afar. Watching them - from the outside. The once familiar elements of their life reduced to nothing more than occasional mentions in conversations and faces changing in photographs… They exist to you now as nothing more than living proof that something can still hurt you … with no contact at all.” Second: “place blame. Here is the truth: It is hard to be in love with someone who is in love with someone else. I don’t know how to turn that into poetry.”

Image 4: “In my dreams I am kissing your mouth and you’re whispering ‘where have you been?’ I say, 'I’ve been lost but I’m here now. / You’re the only person who has ever been able to find me.’”

Image 5: Text that reads, “At night, in bed, images come. They begin as dreams, trailing caresses in my sleep from which I start, trembling. I lie awake, and still they come, the flicker of firelight on a neck, the curve of a hipbone, drawing downwards. Hands, smooth and strong, reaching to touch me. I know those hands. But even here, behind the darkness of my eyelids, I cannot name the thing I hope for. During the days I grow restless, fidgety. But all my pacing, singing, running does not keep them at bay. They come, and will not be stopped.” Attached is a painting of arms reaching out of darkness as if embracing someone but holding nothing.

Image 6: But at night I dream of a love so heavy it makes my spine throb - I dream up a lover who makes love like he is separating salt from water.

Image 7: Two pieces of text are attached to a painting of a figure curled up on the couch. First text: “I am afraid / I will love you forever / and we will never be / in the same room / again.” Second text: “how do you mourn the loss of a love you / never spoke out loud / never / felt with your own two hands?”

Image 8: A painting of a figure standing in a field, reaching out towards another figure that’s no more than a transparent outline. Attached is text that reads: When did it happen? / “It was a long time ago.” // Where did it happen? / “It was far away.” // No, tell. Where did it happen? / “In my heart.” // What is your heart doing now? / “Remembering. Remembering!”

Image 9: Two pieces of text. The first reads, “I look for a picture of you / To keep in my pocket / But I can’t seem to find one / Where you look how I remember”. The second reads, “And everyone around me’s changed / But the garden that you planted remains / I think about you / Maybe more than I should”.

Image 10: A painting of a figure lying on their side, hair cascading down, with a sad, wistful expression.

Image 11: I’m under no illusion as to what I meant to you / But you made an impression, and sometimes I still feel / the bruise / Sometimes I still feel the bruise.
