si linguis angelorum loquar

this was
the end+







speak
angel.
under
the shadow
of the priest.



like a
child after
her mother



flutter


Cum sacrum
deo
salaci conducto
est pretio
puella parvo+




and the
lantern is dirty


Throbbing
on my navel.

    I actually pulled my spirit from my body once while I was grieving so deeply and I flew for a while, I now believe I was astral travelling....... Deeply poignant and beautiful Corinthian, much love to you.

    That throbbing on your navel is just the Lux Mundi trying to get out, maybe.

    Just enough Latin in my Spanish and scientific background to tantalize a very rough translation. The author's note was helpful too, much enjoyed and thanks.

  • A former member wrote: love the latin part :) great write as always ♥
