And I am richer for this. I just named my new fish Calliope, after Torres, but I looked it up urged by my curiosity. Sweetness! xomo

And I had to look up the name of the actress. Cheers to knowledge all around.

Jeff, I like this poem. Evocative prose indeed. Greek honey bee so named Melissa never to be forgotten. Very nice sentiment from a place you go to alone if I would dare to guess. -Richard

Thanks for the comment, but mi Musa is a real woman. Her inspiration is far from lonely.
