Context: She is everywhere and noplace
Like a breath or like a wind
she moves among men
They would seek to hold her as a prize
But she is in the shadows,
the ocean and the sand
She is everywhere and noplace,
Her church not made with handsUncontained by man.
“For love is like the breathing wind,
That everywhere may entrance find.”

“Smells, like music, hold memories. She breathed deep, and bottled it up for posterity.”
