about

As with most aspects of Love this offering has many levels, and the entrances to each level are often hidden in plain sight. As a single, simple example, in the artwork, the cardioid shape behind the lovers is a rotation of a graph of the Riemann zeta function. Love is very precise and yet remains as mysterious and playfully resistant to our probes as the zeros of the Riemann zeta function. There! That's the outline of the entrance to one of the next levels. Can you find the others?

lyrics

when he sees her lying with her hair
spilt all over the sheets and the sparkling
spray of invitation and surrender in her eyes
a kiss just forming on her lips he knows
love is neither falling nor mounting
love is
the purest and truest when they are joined
and rejoining and rejoicing
unmaking the bed
renewing the vows of the universe
to be whole
to be one

(Dedicated to Natasha Natalevna)
