(Twins in the Wound)
It took me years to understand that we didn’t love each other because we were conventionally compatible or in perfect harmony, but because we were broken and shattered in the same exact places…
We are twins in the wound, abandoned and banished by our families when they discovered we refused to play by the rules of the overwhelming—and overwhelmed—majority…
And so, my love, I hid you from everyone, not out of shame, but out of dread of the tyranny and ignorance of the rabble…
From your hidden love I learned that only love which quietly masters the art of hiding from watchful eyes and hypocrites survives in the end…
