Click hereHi, this is me, I'm writing you a letter.
Oh, you're surprised, are you? That's ok.
I'm surprised by what I think. It's a bit interesting.
Interesting how, you ask? Well, because
you sway at the hips and cover
your face with a sweater when you take
it off, and you hop on both feet.
You thought I was only a crustacean,
but as it turned out, I had a name, it was
Me. Yes, that is the one you know.
And when the music starts, I am
listening with you, you know that
even without knowing it.
Don't you? Am I mistaken?
I go, in my mind, outdoors, and I fill
pots with potting soil.
And I wonder, what will grow, here?

swallowedscreamover 16 years agoTo tell someone you love them, but few as lovely as this. Why do you love her? Just because, just for being her. Beautiful.
LeBrozover 16 years agoA most enjoyable read. My take on it is probably off, but it sure feels like a woman talking to herself. Which then gives it a light humorous feel. This take on it feels more comfortable to me than taking it to be a chat between two people. Either way, it's good.
lorencinoover 16 years agoIt conjures up the rich security of a giving relationship only someone who doesn't take themselves to seriously is capable of forming.
