capsalad (Dave Schulman):
The scientist is like an explorer climbing a mountain:
giddy from the heights and thin atmosphere, he feels a
premature elation and thinks that he can reach out and
grab the stars. And then he climbs to the top and sees
that even higher peaks await him in the distance and that
the stars are so far beyond his grasp that they will never
become light under the nails of his Heaven-scraping fingers.

cheshire (Mary Vogt):
Solitude stands by the window
I'm struck once again by her black silhouette
By her long cold stare and her silence
I suddenly remember each time we've met
And she turns to me with her hand extended
Palm is split with a flower, with a flame.
And she says, "I've come to set a twisted thing straight."
And she says, "I've come to lighten this dark heart."
As she takes my wrist I feel her imprint of fear
And I say, "I never thought of finding you here..."
