I try to thrust myself into the answer.
It hurts, but I want to know. I wish there was a way I could tell you.
I wish we could be quick about this art so we can go such each other off.
-Marissa Perel
I want I will I do I do I do I succumb. Doesn't everybody wanna fall in love?
The music will enter you as raw, obscene episodes of longing are followed by
delicate and
fancy placements and replacements swirling
around the maelstrom
of desire.
