The Parts You Saved 5/23/10
The parts you saved
were not the things you valued most
It was just the stuff that was close at hand
And the things you lost
Were the treasures
that cannot be replaced

PERFECTION 5/22/10
"I don't want perfection," I say
"It doesn't exist, and if it did, it'd be boring"
I say these words and she nods and smiles
I say these things but I think she "is" perfect
In all the little ways
The turn of her nose
The shade of her eyes
The shape of her mouth
And the way she calls me on my bullshit
She is perfect the way a Vermeer painting is perfect
made of light ...
Light and shadows
