many and few

hands do
blister
and  bleed ,
bold
like frayed
twists of
twine.

blood is
not weakness,
and suns
bleed flame,

you
are a sun
that breathes love.

though
your hands may be
worn,
do not
cease to breathe

as leaves

a reflective void,
fallen through…

(there is much more
than this body
&nbspin the tiniest infinity)

In response, Theron wrote the following song, entitled “Aloha”:
