If you forget me
I want you to know one thing. You know how this is: if I look at the crystal moon, at the red branch of the slow autumn at my window, if I touch near the fire the impalpable ash or the wrinkled body of the log, everything carries me to you, as if everything that exists, aromas, light, metals, were little boats that sail toward those isles of yours that wait for me. Well, now, if little by little...

Variations on the Word Love
This is a word we use to plug holes with. It’s the right size for those warm blanks in speech, for those red heart- shaped vacancies on the page that look nothing like real hearts. Add lace and you can sell it. We insert it also in the one empty space on the printed form that comes with no instructions. There are whole magazines with not much in them but the word love, you can rub it all...
There is much to hate in this world, and too much to love.

Asparagus by M.Atwood
This afternoon a man leans over the hard rolls and the curled butter, and he tells me everything: two women love him, he loves them, what should he do?
The sun sifts down through the imperceptibly brownish urban air. I’m going to suffer for this: turn red, get blisters or else cancer. I eat asparagus with my fingers, he plunges into deception. He’s at his wit’s end, sewed up in...
