I love this essay so much. Your wonderful photos, the phenomenal art, the music, the books, your love poetry. I adore the way you connected with John Noire. I’m with you on thinking that’s the way love goes. This is beautiful. Peace <3

Thank you so much Jessica♥️

Writing the poem tested not only my writing skills but my vulnerability. How do I artistically express intimacy? John wrote his part first and I melted because he knew exactly what I wanted to do. In his words, it definitely sounds like a call and response.

Yakuza... I love that because I watched your video on your process more than a year ago, I hear your voice in my mind when I read your words. February was something. 🖤

Soo glad February is over.

I've been curious about the Yakuza for years and I have a good feeling I'm going to enjoy this book a lot.
