I miss you.
I read something today that made me feel like I used to when we were teenagers and the day was foggy and we were sitting in a still car smoking cigarettes and worrying about whether or not we were real.
The Dyatlov Pass Incident. 
Now, I will cheer you up.

"Like venerable moss-bearded Daniel Boone, he will have no one near him but Nature herself; and her he takes to wife in the wilderness of waters, and the best of wives she is, though she keeps so many moody secrets."

The internet has been down at my house, so I have been reading Moby Dick and watching Seinfeld dvds. I never thought I would know so much about 19th century whaling.

(Today, the internet came back! I've missed you so.)

I have been awful about posting. I hope you liked this Darger treat.

Summer Elbows, Summer Knees

The dragonflies in the garden don't scare me,
even though they are breathing fire
and stirring up windstorms
that frighten all the beetles.
It's the spiders that crawl
up the mountain range of your spine
when we sleep out of doors.

The first time I saw you you looked lost in your houndstooth jacket.

I'm sorry but how can I get to you?
