If we are particles in a sea of distance, exploded from an original whole, then there is a science to our solitude. We are lonely in proportion to our years." - Rule of Four Ian Caldwell, Dustin Thomason

Beyond
The rim of the star-light,
my love
is wand'ring in star-flight.
I know
he'll find in star-clustered reaches,
love,
strange love a star woman teaches.
I know
his journey ends never,
his star trek
will go on forever.
But tell him
while he wanders his starry sea
