a few indiscriminate selections, not
even in alphabetical order
pity: love, but without the admiration
art: the product of deftness applied to an intricacy
to conceive:
a) to think of
b) to make happen
poetry: the conjunction of Beauty and Truth,
a bridge between language and music
courtesy: a prelude to poetry
prelude: what comes before
religion: the institutionalization of faith

the question of the afterlife comes up
in several places in art history, from
very Homer to the present, my very
Orpheus, because of the sweetness
of his music, his ability on the lyre,
is granted, by the rulers of the
Underworld, the return, among the
mortals, of his recently deceased
beloved, Eurydice
the condition is that he not turn back
to look at her as he leads her back
to the world of the living, our
sensate world
it’s a journey I’ve taken often for its
utter enchantment and inspiration,
you’ll find it irresistible
you won’t want to not go back,
I didn’t
