This Body Is a Temporary Argument

This body is a temporary argument: on love, ache, and the paradox of being here is a poetry collection that moves through attachment, absence, and the unstable labor of staying. The poems dwell in longing, grief, and contradiction, where memory unsettles presence and love resists resolution. Written in motion and deliberately unresolved, the work traces how the body becomes evidence—for desire, endurance, doubt, and survival. These pages do not offer answers or closure. They offer fragments, echoes, and gestures, reflecting the temporary arguments we make for existing, loving, and remaining.
