I wanted to know mornings, afternoons, and evenings with her, to see who she really was. I realize now, that's dating. What dating is for. I have so often jumped the gun and "married" the woman first and then spent the following months in a dizzying blur of hormones and melting boundaries. What would it be like to go slow? To let the relationship unfold like a poem, word by word, line by line--see if it really was a poem worth keeping.
About Me
- Naomi S
- A few things I know for sure. That revolving doors make me nervous. That, sometimes, it takes courage to do the simplest things. That the moment in a theatre before the stage lights come on is exquisite. That poetry is often "one short step to the good ground (May Swenson)." That I love swimming anywhere but especially in swimming pools.
