I still think about dying. I do think about death. Or a day in childhood when I saw the only place I could live was here. Inside. So whoever wanted me had to come through the body. Which has rarely been beautiful to me.

Alex Dimitrov, from Waiting at Stonewall, Love and Other Poems

Why write love poetry in a burning world?

To train myself in the midst of a burning world,

To offer poems of love to a burning world.
