No Pablo Neruda

Essays on life, work and literature

Virtuous

Filthy, sexy you in my head -

I picture the spread of your limbs on my bed.

As the day turns to dour and miserable light,

I am tight with the need for delight.

Love this ‘tight’ little piece. Love the photo. Love you!

Why can’t we live in the same city? Really. I want to sit indoors and read and write all day with you :)

Will you help me walk the dog and make dinner, too? Can I convince Gary to start up one of those triad or poly-amorous unions or something? Because if we were to live in the same town, I’d want you quite near me, I’m afraid.

Well I think it could work. But I am very selfish. Perhaps we could have a second husband too? Just so, if Gary is chasing you around the house, I will have someone to play with.

There are lots of lovely southern boys down here, as it’s university and research town…you could have your pick of poetry professor or nuclear physicist.

Oh! Could I please have a nuclear physicist who is a poet?

I will ask my friends Kate and Robert if they know of any. Or I can troll the Sciences building shouting out Whitman or something to see if anyone ducks their heads out of a lab and joins in.
