that first walk in the woods
snow underfoot
your eyebrows dark slashes of punctuation
stark as the trees cutting
the December sky
you told me your father hated women
and your mother hated you
a current of energy
disturbed and seduced me
I loved you immediately
you wept
the very next morning
we picked out names for our kids
(we would be having two)
the utter insanity of love
there is no going back
Beautiful Amy

How strange and purely beautiful it is when it enters into life. Worth every heartbreak too. Great work.
