threeplusfireThere are moments when all I want is to be free. To be single, to stay up all night and answer to no one. To be a sleepless academic working on papers and drinking with my professors.
Sometimes I really do want to get married.
And I don't know which one I'm going to eventually choose. I hate this not-knowing that plagues too much of my life. For once, I just want to know and be done with it.
"A poet is, before anything else, a person who is passionately in
love with language." -- W.H. Auden
Watching my little airplane plant lift its leaves to the sun, I wish I had something to say about this morning. Bright yellow sunshine on my balcony. Chattering birds. I forgot to write on Saturday about the pool. I spent an hour or so down at the pool near my building. Remarkably quiet for a space so near the homes of so many. The only company I had were large ravens, talking loudly to each other and sometimes circling the sky. A few monarch butterflies and a blue-green dragonfly. I've seen so many butterflies lately. Swimming in the morning when everything is still calm soothes me, takes awaysome of that nervous edge.
