REUNION

When Odysseus has returned at last 
unrecognizable to Ithaca and killed 
the suitors swarming the throne room, 
very delicately he signals to Telemachus 
to depart: as he stood twenty years ago, 
he stands now before Penelope.
On the palace floor, wide bands of sunlight turning 
from gold to red. He tells her
nothing of those years, choosing to speak instead 
exclusively of small things, as would be
the habit of a man and woman long together:
once she sees who he is, she will know what he's done. 
And as he speaks, ah,
tenderly he touches her forearm.

is if you ever strapped yourself to a giant eyeball or tried to hold a beach ball underwater or thrown up on a whale watch or listened to every King Crimson box set at least twice you know what I mean when I say a crash helmet's useless when the crash is in your own skull. I doubt many of us would do
what Jim did when bears came to his bird feeders and the end-of-the-world witnesses
came to his door. See what I mean about the eyeball? The idea is the mind has wings. The idea being when the dog runs off in the dark, darkness is your dog.

~ Mr. Rogers — on love

Love is like infinity: You can't have more or less infinity, and you can't compare two things to see if they're equally infinite!

Infinity just is,

And that's the way I think love is, too.

Just because you are soft doesn't mean you are not a force.
Honey and wildfire are both the colour of gold.
