Thank you, Adrienne Rich

This is an excerpt from “Part II: Twenty-One Love Poems” in the book The Dream of a Common Language: Poems 1974-1977.  I had the wild notion that I would read all of it last night before bed — this was before I went on a drive, came home, and spent the next 3 hours editing my feature article, rewriting sentences and moving paragraphs like a mad scientist.  But I plan to read more today.
