Love After Love

'Love After Love' by Derek Walcott is a meditation on the journey we all go on in order to discover ourselves, and the moment we realise it's been waiting for us all along. The author brilliantly addresses a brutal truth about life with such grace and magnetism, it was Elliott's aim to bring a sense of sacredness and lightness to the reading. Hopefully, you enjoy it and feast upon its wonderfully disarming reflection.

Accompanied by gong, drone, and rainstick. No ending bell.

Love After Love by Derek Walcott The time will come when,

With elation,

You will greet yourself arriving at your own door,

In your own mirror,

And each will smile at the other's welcome,

And say,

Sit here,

Eat.

You will love again the stranger who was yourself.

Give wine,

Give bread,

Give back your heart to itself,

To the stranger who has loved you all your life,

Whom you ignored for another,

Who knows you by heart.

Sit down the love letters from the bookshelf,

The photographs,

The desperate notes.

Peel your own image from the mirror.

Sit.

Feast on your life.

Feast on your life.

Feast on your life.

Feast on your life.
