She longs for crisp white sheets
And absolute quiet
In a bed too big for one person
A fan to stir the air
Above her naked supine form
The scent of pine and cedar
Wafting through the window
The setting sun warming her skin
And someone to hand her a cup
While he tells her it’s all right.
Repose

So lovely, Meg. 🙂

That’s great. You will enjoy Gurney. I have been thumbing through his poems and gazing at the maps of his walks. Then I went back to Eliot (Four Quartets).

Everything is fine. The last two days were spent in lawyers offices, so I fell behind in reading and answering my blog.
But I can’t complain. Loving the summer. Having a great time with Allie. I hope you are doing the same.
