Ambrosia

"Ambrosia is the writing of love, through writing - the love in/of the writing body and how it is inseparable from the bodies of the desiring/loving 'subjects' in the piece. The writing was generated between lovers, between cities and voices. Emails arrived, something was (is) always arriving, awaking. And departing. Ambrosia was (is) writing knowing that separation can never happen again, not like that, yet Kahlil Gibran in The Prophet writes '. . . and who can depart from his pain and his aloneness without regret?', but also '. . . only another winding will this stream make, only another murmur in this glade.'
