dusk (my love)

"dusk is just an illusion,
because the sun is either above the horizon or below it.
and that means that day and night are linked in a way that few things are;
there cannot be one without the other,
yet they cannot exist at the same time.
how would it feel to be always together,
yet forever apart?"

i love the peeling of oranges!
i love hard work and tall grasses!

i want to take my kids out of this technological age
(don't be silly evelyn, that's impossible & you don't have children)
but i do, and i imagine him (i dare say henry) with my beautiful
black haired daughter, in those grasses
eating oranges, neither knowing what an ipod is;
or if they do, they don't care, because they have each other
and God is overlooking this couple gently singing
about the sunrise.
and i am forever watching them,

"why is it i cannot go where he is?"

I love the time traveller's wife. As soon as I read you wanted a "Henry" I thought of that book. And apparently you were too!
p.s. did you know it's being made into a movie?
