I rediscovered this the night after my husband died... this poem that he had hand-written on a loose piece of paper, tucked away in a notebook by the bed. I didn't remember until now, that he had written it this last Anthesteria on Khoes.
it is like a dream
you and I
when we are awake
when we are not speaking
when we are just loving
when you come just moments
from my face
when we line up in arc
and in breaths
when i can hear your dress
kissing the gravel
when I want to climb back
on the swing with you
