Blind returns as a love poem of delay and invisibility, where dead stars, shared dreams, touch, and several heavens let two people remain mysteriously one.

The stalled phone call gives the opening a small, ordinary frustration before the poem leaps outward into star death and renewal. Love is defined less as romance than as inhabiting the same dream and even the same daily thought, which makes union feel mental before it becomes physical. Touch still matters because it returns the whole argument to blood, heartbeat, and the body's need for proof.

Revisits the 'Blind' poem of 220 with minor corrections; two stars dying to make another, love as sharing the same day-to-day thought, heavens that help 'people / who are two in the same.'
