Artist’s Quote

pansies instead of paranoia

I am no longer afraid this fruit contains parasites,

I now swallow the seed without shame and let the roots of this sweet nectar,

Call this body home.

Luminary’s Quote

Love him and let him love you. Do you think anything else under heaven really matters? – James Baldwin

Baldwin, James. Giovanni’s Room. New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 2016.
