Miracles are to come. With you I leave a remembrance of miracles: they are by somebody who can love and who shall be continually reborn, a human being.
time is a tree (this life one leaf) but love is the sky and i am for you just so long and long enough
(and from my thighs which shrug and pant a murdering rain leapingly reaches the upward singular deepest flower which she carries in a gesture of her hips)
Who knows if the moon's / a balloon, coming out of a keen city / in the sky - filled with pretty people?
The Artist is no other than he who unlearns what he has learned, in order to know himself.
love is thicker than forget more thinner than recall more seldom than a wave is wet more frequent than to fail it is most mad and moonly and less it shall unbe than all the sea which only is deeper than the sea love is less always than to win less never than alive less bigger than the least begin less littler than forgive it is most sane and sunly and more it cannot die than all the sky which only is higher than the sky
unlove's the heavenless hell and the homeless home
Meanwhile myself et cetera lay quietly in the deep mud et cetera (dreaming, et cetera, of your smile eyes knees and of your Etcetera.)
Nobody loses all the time.
You have played, (I think) And broke the toys you were fondest of, And are a little tired now; Tired of things that break, and— Just tired. So am I.
You shall above all things be glad and young...
Laughing is just another way of showing people your wise
