How much do you love me, a million bushels?
Oh, a lot more than that, Oh, a lot more.
And tomorrow maybe only half a bushel?
Tomorrow maybe not even a half a bushel.
And is this your heart arithmetic?
This is the way the wind measures the weather.
Sandburg, C. (1878-1967)

I throw out love
like an anchor and wait where the long house lights
of strangers tickle the river’s back …
Isn’t it right to drag the rivers for the bodies
not even the nets could catch?  I won’t lie, I want
you to lie with me on the tumbling surface of love.
Smith, D.

We are spending our
whole lives saying one thing
to each other, it is the only
thing than can ever be said
& it takes forever, like a tree
telling a story to a mountain.
Woods, R.
