In the interest of being more honest here

Emotional upheavals and things, probably due to not getting my periods. More like emotional downheavals. I have been thinking about L.S. a lot. Not sad things. Not even things, just stuff that happened back then. But today more about V and things I know about him that no one else knows. People should always go for walks to get to know  each other better. All I worry about is my heart getting smaller. I need to not let it for my mother and friends I have grown to care about. Fucking hell. Never tell anybody anything. But it always happens. And as for me like Stephen Dunn, "Ive had it with all stingy-hearted sons of bitches. A heart is to be spent. As for me, Ill share my mulcher with anyone who needs to mulch. " Except the stingy hearted son of a bitch tends to be me, most of the time. But those days are over, ladies. And it happened without me knowing.  At least I can still look at poetry books I can't afford yet. Probably never, the way things are going. At least I can look forward to finding them in libraries.  I have thought some terrible things that I can't write about.  Things that mess people up start early when they haven't even got their guard up. 

Love is a Deep and a Dark and a Lonely
Carl Sandburg
love is a deep and a dark and a lonely
and you take it deep take it dark
and take it with a lonely winding
and when the winding gets too lonely
then may come the windflowers
and the breath of wind over many flowers
winding its way out of many lonely flowers
waiting in rainleaf whispers
waiting in dry stalks of noon
wanting in a music of windbreaths
so you can take love as it comes keening
as it comes with a voice and a face
and you make a talk of it
talking to yourself a talk worth keeping
and you put it away for a keen keeping
and you find it to be a hoarding
and you give it away and yet it stays hoarded
like a book read over and over again
like one book being a long row of books
like leaves of windflowers bending low
and bending to be never broken

I have to do tax. "Be a legal superhero in the business world". God.
