"If you love him
love him
to destruction:
a yellow day lily
bending to the wind."
Oh, God, why can't I? Is drama beautiful? I want to live in a cave next to a natural hot-springs. I would go out at night, all alone and happy, and soak up the warm healing water and the stars and the sounds and the lack-of-sounds. I'd build little shelves of fallen wood. I'd put only my favourite books there. Every once in awhile I'd go out and charge my iPod and my laptop. I'd have a small garden. I'd make pretty boxes and jewellery and sell them. With the money I made, I'd buy kappa maki and gem-encrusted hairbrushes. The water could be my mirror. I'd adopt a child from someplace warm. She'd be thrilled to have a cave-mommy who feeds her well and reads to her and teaches her everything except for math and hatred. She'd be a little older than I'd like, at first, since the oldest children are hardest to place in families. We'd be best friends.
Maybe that's the kind of love I'm looking for.
