marriage vows
tuesday, sept. 18, 2007, 6:08 pm

i will become an artist, a chemist, a lover, a mother, a child.
i will make love and sin, i will forgive. i will sit and breathe and fall asleep and i will love you and i will love you right.
and i'll forget my name and all the words in the world, and our bodies will speak the same language, in the same rhythm we will become one.
i will tell you the stories of the night about women and girls and hearts and of forbidden fruits.
we'll pick ripen hearts from bare trees and eat them,
and until then, i'll love you.
