Hey, look, it’s more book spine poetry. (As a reminder, this literary remix experiment is inspired by artist Nina Katchadourian and her Sorted Books project from a few years back.) After the working theory of love, here comes love in practice — that moment when one heart sings to another and, just like that, magic materializes — captured in book spines:

After you
Talk to me,
Everything sings,
Everything is illuminated:
Instant love
