I have come back to reread this, where else can you find such radical thoughts:

"no love is sweeter than the clinging of bodies that are

hard and soft in all the wrong places. Nothing is more erotic

than the touch of comfort and safety."

Loved it Jason! It's wild. I sat down with my computer to type up an entry for a nature magazine - the prompt is to write about being way off trail surrounded by wildlife. And your page was here on my browser, writing about trees lol. New word of the day: Dalliances.

Beautiful poem 🖤. Reminds me of the Rilke poem about Marriage, and being the guardian of each other’s solitude.
