My life keeps going without me in it.

My life keeps going without me in it.
(via lifeinpoetry)
She is dead,
but there is beauty,
a white rose;
She kept changing back and forth. She kept pretending to die and then being resurrected.
She was a strange one. One might say she had a calling. Death and then rebirth. A calling indeed.
Breakfast, then, with the toast and jam, bacon and coffee, all good-smelling and warm, with outside the sun-bright pieces of the day waiting. You talking with all, and I listening, thinking, oh, I want a lot to grow to know you. And subsequently, during day and night and day again, talking, looking, exchanging laughter. Your hair long, black, combed back, and your eyes, the most wonderful part when flashing back a look of appreciative understanding, dark to blackness, blazing laughter.
Today I will walk in the sun. I will simply walk in the sun.
It is easy for me to love, to hold someone in affectionate confirmation, even when I can see quite plainly that the feeling is quixotic. I have always been mystified by the speed with which people condemn one another.
What I remember most is how beautiful everybody was, and of course the beautiful clothes; we dressed up as Medieval damsels and princes, pirates, pre-Raphaelite Madonnas, popes, hussars, mad hatters, and creatures visiting from other planets.
