photo is at the beach at the water’s edge, with frothy water churning in the upper right portion of the image, with a oily film or glasslike water spread and rippling across black sand, with dots of froth, filtering and reflecting light in bending shades of greenish, pinkish, and brownish blue-black.

fool me baby kiss the dice
fool me til my work is thrice-
done and death be (tenderly) well-come

into the mess of heavens nature
(un)tangling dots of fairy light
and solemn practicing of ends

the bodys end (heartbroke) remembering
the sweeter end (lovesong) right here
the strangers end (artist) in-bending-thought

a sandwich (!) for these things are signs
of a long-time friendship of will-
being and where may-happens-wonder

Phaedrus: (as Lysias, cont.)

for these things are signs (tekmeria)
of a long-time friendship (philia)
of will-being (fut. part. eimi)

ταῦτα γάρ ἐστι φιλίας πολὺν χρόνον ἐσομένης τεκμήρια
