Learning to love differently is hard Love with the hands open, love With the doors banging on their hinges The cupboard unlocked, the wind Roaring and whimpering in the rooms Rustling the sheets and snapping the blinds That thwack like rubber bands In an open palm.
~ Marge Percy from "To Have Without Holding" in THE MOON IS ALWAYS FEMALE
