'Falling in love can be very spiritual before concretization' said an old Tibetan lama. In the Tantra, the stage of falling in love before physical contact can lead to enlightenment if physical contact is avoided for long enough. Cthonic rather than platonic love. A sonnet sequence with some formal experiments with leafing one sonnet within another so they can either be read separately together or as one, opening up the possiblities for stereophonic meaning. Also tells a story of unrequited love leading to something more unconditional.
