One.
Starting with Little Things
Love the earth like a mole,
fur-near. Nearsighted,
hold close the clods,
their fine-print headlines.

affable plow.
Fields are to touch:
each day nuzzle your way.
Tomorrow the world.

life is for living
Let us go then, you and i...
"come on over, just be patient, and don't worry"
with head bowed. knees bent. eyes closed. heart open. hands offering:
"i love you"
"see you soon"
"Verily he is the Merciful, the Compassionate. Praise be to God, the Lord of all the worlds."
Grandpa reciting The Jaberwocky from memory
dad playing blackbird
the sound of Chopin making me cry
the wind in Houck.
the silence in the Shrines
footsteps in an empty museum

heartbeats in sync
heartstrings strummed.

I want to say something but I don't know what to say, so I'll just say that I love this, and I love you, Alex. --Tara
