In an age of performative cruelty, kindness is punk as fuck.

Be punk as fuck!

The only obsession everyone wants: 'love.' People think that in falling in love they make themselves whole? The Platonic union of souls? I think otherwise. I think you're whole before you begin. And the love fractures you. You're whole, and then you're cracked open.

Philip Roth, The Dying Animal

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness.

Ēostre - Taurus in Spring

The word ‘Easter’ itself is derived from the Old English word ‘Ēastre’ or ‘Ēostre’. In turn, this is believed to be derived from the name of the pagan goddess Eostre also called Ostara or Eastre, a Germanic goddess associated with spring, fertility and dawn.

This is my rendition of ‘Taurus in Spring’ in the form of an ornate Easter Egg.

The egg symbolises new life & new beginnings. A fresh start to everything that I am and will be.

Ēostre - Taurus in Spring - adorned & ornate.
