Caspian, my Caspian. You smell like Halloween, and I'd like to invite you to my house.

I'd like that, too.

Of course, I'd like that Cinderella dress.... it's so pretty.... or a costume picked by someone who knows me well. Knows what suits me.

And happiness. And a cure for diabetes. And money for my friends' lunches, clipboards, pencil sharpeners, cancer treatments, all that stuff.

To be held by twilight...





Not a lot of material stuff, is there?


Mostly though, I'd just like... you know.... Sappho.

Or maybe.... SAPPHO.

And just for Variety, Alcman AND Sappho!

But Alcman IS a drunken whore, so he only gets a minute in the spotlight

And of course, I won't forget you, Akhmatova!

But please hear me, sister, if it is Sappho they bring me,
then it is Sappho I will carry, Sappho I will hold to me
and Sappho I will whisper to.

It is nothing personal, darling
it just happens that I'm her soul.
