Prompt # 11 – alphabet (of luurrvv)
April 25, 2018
So how is this a metaphor for love? How the hell should I know?! Well I guess, in the sense that there’s no ‘road map’, no reliable rhythm or pattern, you have to land on it and just take it one step at a time with no expectation, no guarantee? It’s a test?
