FAQ

FAQ

Where does beauty register in the body.

In the chest, the heart, and the forehead.

Why, when looking at a beautiful thing 
do we close our eyes, sighing.

To make the pleasure more private,
but also, to sketch the lines of what we saw
so we can bring them back.

Why does beauty prompt a twinge of pain.

Because it isn’t yours. Nothing is.
