the song of Achilles

[motteteto]

The never-ending ache of love and sorrow. Perhaps in some other life I could have refused, could have torn my hair and screamed, and made him face his choice alone. But not in this one. He would sail to Troy and I would follow, even into death.

[motteteto]

Let me only slay Hector, and I do not care how soon death comes to me.

Patroclus, he says, Patroclus, Patroclus. Over and over until it is sound only. Somewhere Odysseus is kneeling, urging food and drink. A fierce red rage comes, and he almost kills him there. But he would have to let go of me. He cannot. He holds me so tightly I can feel the faint beat of his chest, like the wings of a moth. An echo, the last bit of spirit still tethered to my body. A torment.

moodboard: Achilles and Patroclus (The song of Achilles)

We reached for each other, and I thought of how many nights I had lain awake loving him in silence.
