I found refuge in my garden, a safe place beyond the wall of crimson blooms. Time slipped by unnoticed, amidst the thorns, I felt so alone. Slowly, I forgot where I should return. For there, my scent intoxicated me. Bit by bit, I became part of it. And time slipped by unnoticed, amidst the thorns, I too was trapped.

(This is a small animation based on a physical painting I made in 2015.)

To my lover, Adam.
