Ayheen on Election Day

I wonder what she's thinking...

"Angel!: If there were a place that we didn’t know of

and there, on some unsayable carpet,

lovers displayed what they could never bring to mastery here—

the bold exploits of their high-flying hearts,

their towers of pleasure,

their ladders that have long since been standing

where there was no ground,

leaning just on each other, trembling,—

and could master all this,

before the surrounding spectators,

the innumerable soundless dead:

Would these, then, throw down their final,

forever saved-up,

forever hidden,

unknown to us,

eternally valid

coins of happiness

before the,

at last,

genuinely smiling pair on the gratified carpet?"
