"Maybe stories choose how they are told and who tells them."

Storytelling

"If I can't be your love, then let me be a simple brooch so I may rest a while against your chest. If I can't be your love, then let me be a forgotten coin so I may rest a while against your thigh. If I can't be your love, then let me be an unlit cigarette so I may rest a while in between your lips. If I can't be your love, then let me at least remain in these words so I may rest a while in your thoughts."

I am drunk and dazed.I have already forgotten youand your bewitching ways."
