Love

[blacktart]

With a love so like fire they dared not
Let it out into strawy small talk;
With a love so like a flood they dared not
Let out a trickle, lest the whole crack.
These two sat speechlessly;
Pale cool tea in tea-cups chaperoned
Stillness, silence, the eyes
Where fire and flood strained. Lex spotted this somewhere in Manhattan long ago, and I wrote it

I wish I knew what was going on, my dear. I wish I could be there to see and share and comfort, to understand, to give support. I wish I were capable of being more than I am to you.

Drop me an email? I worry about you.
