LOVE is all capital letters

LOVE

is all capital letters & invisible.


LOVE

Can we touch it?
I am terribly alone.
One moment
Could this be me?

Standing here – What is a standing or a here?
What color is my hand or even my?

Is it

LOVE

or

invisible?


Touched though by

LOVE

Or, as Alice said,

“Nothing has ever been of use,
except the sounds between letters,
where all the vibrations of being alive
are kept.”


There is no greater proof of this than the utterly useless

– no claim of function above –

Being.
