Would it have been worth while/ If one, settling a pillow or throwing off a shawl, / And turning toward the window, should say: /
"That is not it at all, / That is not what I meant, at all."

Earth and sky touch everywhere and nowhere, like sex between two strangers. There is no definition and no union for sure. If you chase that line, it will retreat from you at the same pace you set. Heart pounding, air burning in your chest, you’ll pursue. Only humans see that line as an actual place. But like love, you’ll never get there. You’ll never catch it. You’ll never know.
