wow girl this is great. is the form you have here, with the missing spaces, intentional?

i've been obsessed obsessed OBSESSED with love, so it's so wonderful reading another's work on it like this :)

my fav parts:

"reupholstering like a vandal"
<3 "maneuvering through the subterfuge"

and then i guess i have to tell you i kind of resisted where the rest of it went, because perhaps i'm too much of an idealist/optimist/romantic. it's GORGEOUS writing, don't get me wrong... but the idea of love as an assault, or as something best planted "inside the fickle and weary and those full of doubt" kind of saddens me.

but seriously overall i love this piece, especially the beginning. your language is SO fucking beautiful.
