Albums Of Loving

he walked ten miles through the winter night, then laid in a ditch for over an hour.... waiting on her husband to leave..... Farina, Hesse, and talking naked... vodka, and enough passion to almost save the world..... 2 he came home from work, dog-tired, took off his boots at the door.... he could hear the sound of music.... he walked into the great room... she sat naked at the baby grand, playing Tchaikovsky.... she smiled: 'i thought you'd like...' 3 it snowed a lot that winter. he could still see her in his mind's eye... carrying buckets of water through the snow... up the hill.... heating water on that old woodstove, baths in the galvanized bathtub..... then as the fire went down... they made love all night; shadows in the moonlight, great clouds of hungry breath.... no man ever had less, or more! nothing else need be said.... love is the one moment in a thousand when we really dare to live!
