and I keep telling myself
that you are going to come
back and tremble at the sight of
my smile, and you
will wanderinto my arms and kiss me
for once
finally—but I know not
what the future is
and you are growing awayfor fear of all this. Let it go,
love me, don’t love me, I am
…
I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.
I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.
I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way
than this: where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.

Hi, I'm Allie! I sing and study opera, but I also listen to other kinds of music too. I love gay people so much it's unhealthy. Brooklyn and Block Island, RI are my favorite places in the world. I'm a mix of cultures, religions, and languages. My dog is my life. Boys are pretty swell, too, but all I really want to do is go back in time and marry Paul Newman. Or Robert Redford.
