Crawling from under my heavy work load to say.... I love poetry. My favorite poem is from Henry Dumas (whose story is unbelievably tragic) - "If I Were Earth" from the volume "Knees of a Natural Man": If I Were Earth Each tear that fell from the crushed moons of your face, stabbed me, broke and split into a thousand pains. But I held out my arms, and not one did I miss, no, not one did I miss, no not one pain. And if I don't let you soak into me and bring me up, if I don't let you seep deep into me and teach me, then you can cry in the morning to the sun, and tell him to rise up and burn me away. Brenda n.p. - Vince Guaraldi - "Skating"
