XVI · Return

Generated interpretation. A dusk horizon with one small evening star. Not a telescope frame.
The light remains small. The field is large. Generated interpretation, not a telescope frame.

Return is not certainty

Look again

Earth’s twin was one comparison.

“My soul planet” was one human naming.

Venus exceeded both.

Morning light. Evening light.

A world behind clouds.

A measure returning across years.

Civilizations gave her beauty, danger, sovereignty and desire.

And for one woman looking up, something like home.

  4. Evening Star · Looked again

    Not merely at the symbol. At the planet.

And the world became stranger.

What did following Venus make possible that she would not have learned to see otherwise?

Generated interpretation. Surrounding night. Not a telescope frame.

Sweet

Hesper-Phosphor,

double name

for what is one,

the first, the last,

Thou like my present and

my past.

Alfred, Lord Tennyson · In Memoriam A.H.H. · CXXI

Thy place is changed; thou art the same.
