1 " If you are her man, she will talk to you until there just
aren’t any more words left to say, encourage you when you’re
at rock bottom and think there just isn’t any way out, hold you
in her arms when you’re sick, and laugh with you when you’re
up. And if you’re her man and that woman loves you—I mean
really loves you?—she will shine you up when you’re dusty,
encourage you when you’re down, defend you even when she’s
not so sure you were right, and hang on your every word, even
when you’re not saying anything worth listening to. "

14 " Redhead

All over the house
Strands of copper hair
Like filaments from a cobweb
Collect.
If you and I
Were ever to part—

For months, perhaps years,
I’d be combing out,
Brushing or picking up
Strands of significance,

Traces of you
In my life "

somewhere else I am saying
I never want to be without you again. And when I touch you

in all of the lives we are, it's with hands that are dying
and resurrected.
When I don't touch you it's a mistake in any life,
in each place and forever "
