Dosso Dossi Details

[alifeinflowers]

I’m a child of war.

I’m a child of beauty.

Beauty took me from War.

Beauty left me.

War found me.

I left what I come from.

I found other wars and other beauties.

I took me from them.

I took me from me.

I took me with me.

— Paul Tran, from “Scheherazade/Scheherazade,” All the Flowers Kneeling
