And I asked those lovers:
What are your best moments?
And the lovers answered:
Early morning sun,
5am wakeup calls,
Lazy Sundays in bed,
The pleasurable feeling of excitement and mystery,
Coffee, too strong rather than too weak,
Star-crossed lovers, rather than married couples.

And I told them, how at the beginning there was a touch that made you.
And how there were fleece jackets to wrap you from Patagonia winds,

sand how there were plastic particles and the deep blue.

There were vampires and mermaids and a mythical bear and women and other bears and other creatures of night and soil and underbelly and back alley. Then there were maggots and roaches and flesh-eaters and guts all around. There were triplets who ate kitten faces, kitten hearts and their fur and their livers too. There were books for good night moon and there were books for good morning sun.

There were sweet, sweet friends and there were
rooms with nothing but empty beds.
And then there was the
Sage-Rage,
The Rose Garden Death,
The fluffy bees and the raped queens,
The forgotten scent of a forest,
The woods to call you home.
