The Expectative
Hello. My name is Gian. I write things at: Excerpts from Nothing.
I'm 21 years old and trying to figure out what it is I care about. Come for the calaveras, stay for the mermaids.

Love rests on no foundation.
It is an endless ocean,
with no beginning or end.

Even
After
All this time
The sun never says to the earth,
“You owe
Me.”
Look
What happens
With a love like that,
It lights the
Whole
Sky.
