Twelve photographs bearing your likeness,
none loud enough to communicate a name
or a purpose in this world, and you:
with the tattoo of a wedding ring around
your finger, that you have desperately tried
to erase,
the name of a groom
you will not divulge, for fears unknown to me,
frozen cake in a plastic bag
in your cold store,
(saying that you really did care,)
your babies growing up to the rhyme,
‘Something old, something new
Something borrowed, something blue,’
and crying in the night despite or because of it.
Fatherless children and a shameful ring,
you claim the immaculate conception.
In light of all these things, I fear
I will never be able
to know you at all.

When in this charming car...
I like it. It sets a very definite mood right from the title and never lets go. In fact, as you read, the mood darkens, deepens and becomes more and more vivid and suddenly.. By the end, you can feel it.
I know my Jennyjenny exists, because she is in my heart. Always.

I Could Love You Forever And Not A Word Longer

I wish I was better at proving it...but I do miss you.
I still have the photo of you in my wallet, where it's been since you gave it to me, and every time I wear a flow-y skirt I look at my feet and pretend I am walking with you.

I just don't want to lose you, is all.

I remember the times you came to see Alex. It was so easy--we just clicked. I know it's been a while, but that can happen again.
I like the idea of a rediscovery. Keeps things fresh.
