love stories


she got pregnant when she was 18
he promised to marry her, they were in love
he went on a business trip to another country
he got a wife
she got a daughter

they had three sons
he also had a drinking and hitting problem
they were together for 45 years




they fell in love last year of high school
when the baby was 4 he left
a year later he came back
we never talked about that year
14 years later he left again
he didn' come back


to my parents
who taught me love

reductionism

(she) was always flustered and always trying to confine things into the shape of a phrase, like pouring water into a ewer, but great gouts of meaning and implication invariably ran over and slopped about and were lost.

this corner of the earth

Like every humming bird and bumblebee
Every sunflower, cloud and every tree
I feel so much a part of this
...
This corner of the earth is like me in many ways
I can sit for hours here and watch the emerald feathers play
On the face of this I'm blessed
When the sunlight comes for free
I know this corner of the earth it smiles at me
