I finished reading just now. i've been taking longer time than usual, so i decided to read the remaining half in a go and i managed. now, i'm a bit dizzy. but heck, here's
LOVE AFTER LOVE
The time will come
when, with elation,
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror,
and each will smile at each other's welcome,
and say, sit here.Eat.
You will love again the stranger who was yourself.
Give
to itself, to the stranger who has loved you.
all your life, whom you ignored
for another, who knows you by heart.
Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,
the photoographs, the desperate notes,
peel your own image from the mirror.
Sit. Feast on your life
