“theories of the origins of thought”

if the Romans crafted religion to explain war

then the greeks authored divinity to decipher love.

i can guarantee that it would take an entire mythology

to translate my love for you and your seraphic self.

as you stand amidst the orchard with bent fingers brushing the rinds of citrus

i wish to sculpt you in the way the Greeks did so to honor their gods

but i have no way to do so other than with words.

This piece was inspired by a love that not even the philosophers could explain.
