franny choi, unrequited love song for the panopticon

#can you feel it when / i touch you here?

in certified copy when juliette binoche pleads, & persists, in her “remember?” to shemill, like when june gehringer wrote, “the worst part of love is that i remember it” it’s like, the aloneness of grieving something that is not dead and dying still. it’s like john murillo’s “maybe memory is all the home you get” & yet, memory is re-constructive, it is a refraction of reality. it is a copy. but if it makes you feel just the same, does that matter? is it enough, will it ever be? even so, is it the worst part?

why do we feel pain more intensely than love?

o sanam’s “आँखों में बसी हो” & choo lo’s “नज़रों में तुम हो बसे” & kabhi toh muskura’s “बस जाना चाहता हूँ, रह जाना चाहता हूँ” and just the idea of living in someone’s eyes. of making a home, staying, settling. the habit in inhabiting. being told, mine, bas you are mine, you reside in my eyes

...for the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs.
