" 'You don’t feel that marriage would mean a fuller life?'
'I don’t want the things it would be full of.' " —@ivycomptonburnett.bsky.social
"COME BACK
You came back to us in a dream and we were not here
In a light dress laughing you ran down the slope
To the door
And knocked for a long time thinking it strange
Oh come back we were watching all the time
With the delight choking us and the piled
Grief scrambling like guilt to leave us
At the sight of you
Looking well
And besides our questions our news
All of it paralyzed until you were gone
Is it the same way there"
—W S Merwin
