“I walk and walk with cold hands.
Back at the house it is filled with longing,
nothing to carry longing away.
I look back over my life.
I try to find analogies.
There are none.
I have longed for people before, I have loved people before.
Not like this.
It was not this.”
― Anne Carson

If your soul left this earth I would follow and find you
Silent, my starship suspended in night”
