i (want to) love you in fringes
quiero (amarte) en flecos
| “As proffering, I-love-you is on the side of expenditure. Those who seek the proffering of the word… are subjects of Expenditure: they are at the extreme limit of language, where language itself... recognizes that it is without backing or guarantee, working without a net.” ― Roland Barthes, A Lover's Discourse: Fragments To say I love you is to submit to an absolute, one that encompasses the holodynamics of yourself and the other. The act of such words come with implicit desires. What does it mean to love against the boundaries of truth? I want to know what it is like to love you. To love the place I call home but never got the chance to know. It is when we encounter the indiscriminate you that one realizes that it is only possible to begin at the edges; a realization that It is impossible to translate the desires of the other. This is a confession, admitting that I cannot understand how we may materialize within each other’s lives, or truly understand the truths of relation, but we may dance in the attempt of understanding one another and the places we navigate. |
