Love Test

"Love Test" is a work I created in reflection of the domestic desire to be loved to the marrow, a craving for vulnerability at the hands of another. Each stanza unique in its comparison to the ritual of preparing a "home cooked meal," taking great care with every step in the same way my protagonist wishes to be handled physically. The blunt request to be "taken apart" simply translating to my characters trust at the hands of their partner and a curiosity to their perception of his/her most emotionally and physically sacred spaces.

Writing, being a uniquely humane connecter, has impacted my view on empathy. To approach humanity with kindness and the idea we all hold a unique value, that there is significance in every fiber. Helping me dance with the notions of peers and find comfortability in questioning things yet understood.
