“She grinned, a silty grin. 'You were my two dividends, yes? Don't you forget that.'
Then she sighed, took a deep breath, and said, 'But what an investment. My life.”

“But you know, as I do, that the storm will pass
And that the implacable sun doesn't simply stop
When obscured by a dark, pernicious cloud,
Which is why I know I'll return to your house-
On a Sunday that's there on the calendar-
And laugh with you over a glass of grappa.”

“I am your little ram,
burying his muzzle in thick grass of your pasture,
folded by you at night, herded by day,

the bright sickle of the moon
across my wooly throat.
Do it with love, without regret.”
― The Earth Avails: Poems
