it’s all the touches that undoubtedly go unnoticed by you that keep my head and my heart occupied throughout the day.
when i finally unraveled myself from you this morning to face the day you reached over and laid a hand on my rib cage just below my right breast. you did it softly.
i turned around and kissed you and i was content at 630am for the first time.

Her parents no longer offer me wine
now that her tender life is in his hands.

she used to draw and carry - weeping over me -

her neck as she arched it back, letting tender words drop from
her lips.

Journal excerpt: January 20, 2012 11:09pm
Sometimes I feel too tall. I guess I’ve been socialized to think that being small is the feminine ideal, so when I’m around him I sometimes and feel giant and I also feel ugly.
But mostly I feel interesting & funny & smart & wonderful.
