A paradox, like love,
that state couples enter,
anticipating decades of happy-ever-after
between thee and me.
And so I write,
imagining words do not change
their meaning over time.
Instead, each day,
I construct meaning
out of each breath, each touch
on the keyboard,
each moment held fixed
and changing through
scene, character, plot, setting,
all those tools of a writer,
not the least, heart.
We construct meaning,
you and I, each day:
countless ways I show you
that I love you yet,
unchanging.
Tyree Callahan's Chromatic Typewriter (2011)
I did fall in love with this image, found on internet, and discovered the Chromatic Typewriter, created by Tyree Callahan, a gifted painter and creator of the typewriter. Read more about Tyree Callahan in an article by Twisted Sifter and on his blog.

That is so beautiful! Thank you. :-)
