i've been MIA for a while but okan is here now and my friends from california came (i was also ill)... so.... i've been quite busy.
there's a poem by rita dove that is in my mind today, for one reason or another, so i thought i'd share it:
*********************************************************
Wiederkehr
He only wanted me for happiness, to walk in air and not think so much, to watch the smile begun in his eyes end on the lips his eyes caressed.
He merely hoped, in darkness, to smell rain; and though he saw how still I sat to hold the rain untouched inside me, he never asked if I would stay. Which is why, when the choice appeared, I reached for it.

This is love: to fly to heaven, every moment to rend a hundred veils;
At first instance, to break away from breath -- first step, to renounce feet;
