how passionately i miss
happiness.
the flight of every cell
thrown up in the air like confetti
glinting in the sunlight.
a fluster of kisses,
the delicate tinkling of silverware
and laughter.
the crack crunch of apple
split between the teeth
like a logger with axe.
the sleepy awakening of
joy in a midnight dark abandonment-
aware of one.
the splash of water against the chest
and leg-
the shivers!
the pirouette of starbursts
against the pupil
when laughter breaks the body
oh life!
why did you
abandon me.
or where, perhaps
that
is the question.
i am limp and pliant.
somewhere inside,
dismay spins uneasily
a bent ballerina
a broken leg-
unhinged.

Someone may have stolen your dream when it was young and fresh and you were innocent. Anger is natural. Grief is appropriate. Healing is mandatory. Restoration is possible. -Jane Rubietta

My dear child, who can tell? One can only tell that, by remembering something which happened where we lived before; and as we remember nothing, we know nothing about it; and no book, and no man, can ever tell us certainly.
Some couples don’t ask much of one another after they’ve worked out the fundamentals of jobs and children. Some live separate intellectual and cultural lives, and survive, but the most intense, most fulfilling marriages need, I think, to struggle toward some kind of ideological convergence. Norman Rush
