Dear Jealousy
I know I said I hated you and left you years ago,
but I have been missing that something we had, call it
your heat. Meet me again in the desert. Come to the place
where I wrote that name in white quartz on the slope.
Remember how you drew me higher up the mesa, stumbling
through twists of unspurnable roots, pebbles skidding underfoot, how
into thin air you lifted me. I remember now to hold
my breath as I press into the embrace of those
who have gone into their lives without me. Once you held me so
firmly, dipped over the open view, your breath a steady
flame in my face and I knew I couldn't fall.
Ellen Andolsek

1. Good morning, my dear Retro! |

I'm not normally up at this hour, but since I am, I'll comment on this wonderful poem!
Whenever I read these, I realize just how far I have to go...
This is stunning in its clarity, its beauty...
Thank you!
