Did Ms. Riding say the right thing?

The definition of love

The definition of love in many languages

Quaintly establishes

Identities of episodes

And makes the parallel

Of myth colloquial.

But, untranslatable,

Love remains

A future in brains.

Speech invents memory

Where there has been

Neither oblivion nor history.

And we remembering forget,

Mistake the future for the past,

Worrying fast

Back a long ago

Not yet to-morrow.

RIDING, Laura. Mindscapes.
