Between love and enjoyment lies
A world of passion and surprise,
Where fire and water intertwine,
To form a love that's truly divine.
Love is like a roaring flame,
Burning bright with passion's aim,
And enjoyment, like a tranquil stream,
That soothes our hearts and makes us dream.
Fire and water may seem at odds,
Yet they create a perfect squad,
For love needs heat to light the fire,
And water to calm its wild desire.
When love and enjoyment merge,
They form a bond that can't be purged,
A union of both hot and cold,
That's worth its weight in precious gold.
So let your heart embrace the flame,
And feel the water's gentle claim,
For between love and enjoyment lies,
A world of wonder and surprise.

Since the only thing that might pull us back up is caring, it only makes sense that here, long after I’ve let my anger born of heartbreak and grief misplace, multiply, misdirect itself, let the enormity of my solitude turn into something I don’t know how to dispute with, something thick and heavy and suffocating, let the coldness thrash and fight under my skin, deeper still, in between the arches of my organs; here where the ground is always close and the fall is easy and I surrender to it often, lie without purpose for hours, it only makes sense that it is here, I decide to show up and surrender to the possibilities of the night. Show up to those who I deserted. Drawn to the sense of accomplishment, something I haven’t felt in a while, to memory of finished dish sending its aroma into the world and with it, wrapping the room with a strong sense of sweet nostalgia, I get up and decide to cook. I pick up my phone, type a message that reads “Dinner at mine @ 8PM, don’t bring anything” and before my courage deserts me again, drop it in our friends’ group chat, the way one would do when diffusing a bomb in the movies: one eye closed, snip at the wire, hoping for the best.
