this morning i read assigned papers
with tired eyes. they talked of passion
and of glory. they talked like they had
a lot to say, and too much time
to do it.
they missed the beauty
in you,
brushing your teeth.
looking for loose change. drinking tea.
taking out the garbage. laughing.
god is in your moments
and not even a writer
can say
how.

i adore this. j'adore.

dark pictures, thrones, the stones that pilgrims kiss,
poems that take a thousand years to die;
but ape the immortality of this
red label on a little butterfly.

In my nothing, you were everything, to me.

your grasp of detail is brilliant, the wording and structure is absolutely beautiful.

to do it.

in you
