"Lake Echo, Dear" by CD Wright

Is the woman in the pool of light
really reading or just staring
at what is written

Is the man walking in the soft rain
naked or is it the rain
that makes his shirt transparent

The boy in the iron cot
is he asleep or still
fingering the springs underneath

Did you honestly believe
three lives could be complete

The bottle of green liquid
on the sill is it real

The bottle on the peeling sill
is it filled with green

Or is the liquid an illusion
of fullness

How summer’s children turn
into fish and rain softens men

How the elements of summer
nights bid us to get down with each other
on the unplaned floor

And this feels painfully beautiful
whether or not
it will change the world one drop

art basel recap

I had the best time at my first ever Art Basel with Keeler last weekend in Miami. We got to enjoy perfect weather, really sick exhibits, great music, and best of all, each other’s company (somewhere other than NYC).

On our first full day, we went to an immersive gallery called SuperBlue that I couldn’t recommend more. We also got to the Rubell Museum, where they had an additional walk-in Virgil Abloh exhibit. We had brunch at the Viscaya, pineapple margaritas at Wynwood Walls, and dinner at Byblos, Planta, AND Komodo…and by my most adamant request, we spent a few hours lazily on the beach in the sun.

Keeler made this weekend so special & these pictures only capture a fraction of the real fun we had. He is my best friend, and doing anything with him is fun, so the unique experiences are all the more important to me. Monday is one year since our first date, and it’s been so awesome to celebrate each other and our love in this way.

(That reminds me, if you want a holiday card from us, HML!!)
