Love After Love

Love After Love

The time will come
when, with elation
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror
and each will smile at the other's welcome,

and say, sit here. Eat.
You will love again the stranger who was your self.
Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart
to itself, to the stranger who has loved you

all your life, whom you ignored
for another, who knows you by heart.
Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,

the photographs, the desperate notes,
peel your own image from the mirror.
Sit. Feast on your life.

rilke quote

"O Lord, give each person his own personal death.
A dying that moves out of the same life he lived,
In which he had love, and intelligence, and trouble."
-R.M. Rilke

Electing...

walking to my glamorous Hollywood polling place (Selma Elementary!) I dared to hope.

8 years ago i was the office online returns watcher ... there were @ 30 of us then

After 8 years of Bush, there are 3 of us here today...

surely we have hit bottom and are beginning the long hard crawl, right?

And one more parting shot:

Boo.
