Where Am I?
You have forgotten me
Or you love someone more than meSapphoLoneliness arises in solitude.
Like in Plato’s great myth on the origin of love, I am oriented to what I am not. Beyond the gash of separation, ever nostalgic for the two-headed beast we once were. Singularity born to be reunited. No choice but to be consumed. No cure. (Sappho says to Eros, “You burn us”). But what a blessed flame uplifting us like flowers, fragrant with longing.
But when I choose the solitude there is no loneliness.
