Would Sappho hear my pleading prayer, heed my desperate plea to do poetic justice to that love that she knew so well, so long ago. I look to the sky for help, but she looks back, needing nothing at all—mum.. Quiet.. Perfect, like you, Becca, if your lover tell it. The gay love I have known would be called happily antique in its useage or existed beyond my bounds, staved from me by a thin glass, visible to see, but away from me nonetheless But some slogans ring true: love is love—and with this revelation, allow me to translate the truest song on today's wind: Becca, you are loved, you are loved, you are loved, love itself in love with Becca, her beautiful love love love!
