Over the last few days, I have brushed up against so many people that I love both past, present, and several babies who are in the future. I keep them all alive through stories, images, meals, heartbeats, plants, and sunsets.

The truth then:
We turn our hearts
into museums
of the people
that we love
to keep them alive
inside us.
