Inside I woke cold<br/>under the sleeping bag, hearing their heavy sway,<br/>the gravel harsh under their hooves as they moved off<br/>down the bank to the river. You slept on,<br/><br/>Though maybe in your dream you felt them enter <br/>our life just long enough to cause that slight<br/>stirring, a small spasm in your limbs and then<br/>a sigh so quiet, so close to being nothing<br/>but the next breath, I could believe you never guessed<br/><br/>how those huge animals broke out of the dark and came<br/>toward us. Or how afraid I was before I understood<br/>what they were-only horses, not anything<br/>that would hurt us. The next morning<br/>I watched you at the edge of the river<br/>washing your face, your bare chest beaded with bright water,<br/>and knew how much we needed this,<br/>the day ahead with its calm lake<br/>we would swim in, naked, able to touch again.<br/>You were so beautiful. And I thought<br/>the marriage might never end.<br/>-Kim Addonizio</p>http://brklyngirl.tumblr.com/post/51178486http://brklyngirl.tumblr.com/post/51178486Sun, 21 Sep 2008 23:29:00 -0400<img src="http://16.media.tumblr.com/460f3Sxyfe62bshw2HtJYN7fo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>Bridges hold the skeleton key to the city.</p>http://brklyngirl.tumblr.com/post/51176129http://brklyngirl.tumblr.com/post/51176129Sun, 21 Sep 2008 23:07:39 -0400<img src="http://8.media.tumblr.com/460f3Sxyfe62a8qekMxBEfNEo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>There is this tissue of a dress soaking the whiteness of the light and wall, everything.</p>http://brklyngirl.tumblr.com/post/51175968http://brklyngirl.tumblr.com/post/51175968Sun, 21 Sep 2008 23:06:26 -0400<img src="http://23.media.tumblr.com/460f3Sxyfe627w3bBz6FUEDWo1_500.png"/><br/><br/>http://brklyngirl.tumblr.com/post/51175874http://brklyngirl.tumblr.com/post/51175874Sun, 21 Sep 2008 23:04:37 -0400<p>This is my letter to the World<br/>That never wrote to Me —<br/>The simple News that Nature told —<br/>With tender Majesty</p> <p>Her Message is committed<br/>To Hands I cannot see —<br/>For love of Her — Sweet — countrymen —<br/>Judge tenderly — of Me</p> <p>- Emily Dickinson</p>http://brklyngirl.tumblr.com/post/50733229http://brklyngirl.tumblr.com/post/50733229Thu, 18 Sep 2008 13:45:00 -0400
