"Melancholy foreheads that support the sky." Wish I'd written that -- wonderful line. You must know I'm metaphor-addicted from reading my stuff. I'll never quite look at lowering clouds the same way. I hope you don't mean it about the oblivion, though. You obviously have a lot of love left to give in the beautiful world you describe. I especially understand the pain/pleasure aspect of looking back on a fallen relationship. When I think about it, I've really been dancing around including my ex-wife Alyssa as anything more than a touchstone for my own feelings in my poems. But even now, the idea of writing a scene where she's an active participant is a little too difficult. Maybe in time. Atticus
