viperslang: Homage to Romani and Afghan lineages in that chandbali dangling from my (y)ears. “Or, I embrace you as brass and leave you as bronze, you embrace me as argentan, you leave me as vermeil. […] We were so moved that we changed colour, a peacock’s tail on a rainbow, like spectra suddenly becoming unstable. You embrace me mottled, I leave you shimmering like watered silk; I embrace you as a network, you leave me as a bundle . We caress each other along our contour lines, we leave each other with various knots, in embraces that have changed shape.“ —Michel Serres, The Five Senses : A Philosophy of Mingled Bodies -- source link
