Like a stained dress It's useless I cannot wash you out of me Every fiber of my being Every nucleus in my every cell Every live wire of a nerve ending Your every molecule Is fused with me Every song in my soul Is tuned to you Like an instrument The stain of you Seeps through me And alters My essential chemistry S.B. //The Stain What is the one human experience that unifies us all? What most alters us down to our very core? What do we live and burn for? Love. "Cosmosis", the debut book of author Stefanie Briar, is a curated collection of poetry spanning the sublime, annihilating experience of love (from beginning to end). This collection is told through a lyrical style and with signature, rhythmic flow that rolls off the tongue and into the heart. In it, you will both lose and find yourself.
