#si le vous vous plaît and all

When I love

I become liquid light

invisible to the eye

and the poems in my notebooks

become fields of mimosa and poppy.

— Nizar Qabbani

[Image description: an illustration of Philippa Georgiou and Michael Burnham in Shenzhou’s quarters. Bathed in the orange light from the windows and the blue light from the ship, they are kissing with passion. In a plain strapless bra and uniform trousers, Philippa pulls Michael towards her, a hand on her neck. Michael only has her uniform jacket on, revealing plain white shorts and a strapless bra. She is tugging Philippa’s trousers open. End description]
