LOVE POTION
Some things are made to be felt—never chosen.
It began as craft—
base elements
laid out in quiet measure:
sound,
silence,
a line held to its edge.
Nothing claimed.
No one in mind.
Only language,
reduced—
refined—
until it held.
Not gold—
but something close enough
to leave a trace.
Made that way.
Carefully.
Intentionally.
Scott L. knew that much.
The work was in the balance—
not in who might receive it.
So it was released.
Without aim.
Without a name.
That was the design.
But myth does not follow design.
Somewhere—
beyond the page,
beyond the hand that shaped it—
it struck.
Not the air.
Not the silence.
But the unseen place
where meaning waits
to take root.
Like an arrow
that does not miss—
only lands
without reason.
And what was made as craft—
as measure,
as control—
became something else
entirely
in the one
who held it.
Because the work
does not end
in the making.
And the love potion
does not belong
to the one
who writes it.
It was never meant to reach anyone—
that’s what made it reach someone.
