Even if it was an option, it’s not
an option
to date your guardian angel,
even an accidental one. You may believe
you’ve exhausted them all, been pushed
to the edge of the jetty—rocks everywhere
sounding off a raucous
laugh. But the one who guides you ashore
cannot be the one to take you
home
to love you in a half lit, half
darkened solar. This is more
than semantics. This is
a rule bronzed and embedded
in each Noguchi sculpture
you hope to see and know you’ll want
to touch.

My whole body responded to the beauty and poignancy of this poem. I agree, the line “But the one who guides you ashore/cannot be the one to take you/home,” is the jewel in the crown, and will be written in my notebook as one of my favorite Amy Nash quotes.
