i love wednesdays,

and the stars,

and grapefruits from florida,

and him.

Love's the boy stood on the burning deck
trying to recite "The boy stood on
the burning deck". Love's the son
stood stammering elocution
while the poor ship in flames went down.

Love's the obstinate boy, the ship,
even the swimming sailors, who
would like a schoolroom platform, too
or an excuse to stay
on deck. And love's the burning boy.

-- Elizabeth Bishop

he comes home today.

the idea of it is making my head spin,
but in the very best of ways.

happiness is mine.

You ask me what I thought about
Before we were lovers.
The answer is easy.
Before I met you
I didn't have anything to think about.

~Kenneth Rexroth


he.
is.
gone.
for.
ten.
whole.
days.

i feel as a fish out of water
without him.
