on love arriving unannounced
so overwhelmed by the love my little poem received, i wanna cry
Joan Didion, writing about the shock that followed after the death of her husband, John.

It is like a dog driven off by his master that comes back to bark in front of the house at two in the morning. Not to be let in—he knows his master doesn’t love him—but to make his presence known. Can you imagine, my dear? Two o’clock in the morning, when sleep wraps you in safety and the world seems far away, beyond the darkness? Yet each time the master takes his gun and shoots—as is his right—the dog melts away into the darkness of the night. A wasted bullet.

“THE BODY was found
haloed by flies—& I looked beautifulin their thousands of eyes.
Didn’t I?”- Michael Wasson, A Soliloquy Would Imply That the Stage Is Empty.
