“if i ever gave you a leaf
fully expecting you to keep it,
i’m
sorry ! but as they say,
Aurum Nostrum Non Est Aurum Vulgi!
leaves are
cool
and special and
i thought you were, too!”
Seperatio; the alchemical cipher for Separation is my astrological sign, Scorpio.
spliced bodies represent a physical departure to get myself away from people and things that complicated my emotional dreamscape.
fantasies during this time became detrimental to my friendships. i was hurt and confused
i couldn’t figure out how to communicate my feelings in a healthy manner and i spent a lot of time trying too hard to be wanted.
it was draining and the only coping mechanism that worked was avoidance, a clean cut from that part of me,
from the people and desires i had attached myself to.
the fanciful colours of this delusion represent the skewered nature of lust, languid bodies exhibiting distended sexual parts.
