The closer we are to one another,
the better we can see
our human faces.

I love you like a
Big
Blue
Whale
who eats up half the sea
on his way to China.
He carries with him
the movements of the ocean
and all of the little fish
who cheer him on
from inside his belly
playing scrabble
by the fireside,
eating biscuits and gravy
and chanting
"you are in love!
you are in love!"
And the
Big
Blue
Whale
smiles all the way
up to his eye
and spits out the ocean
on China's front porch
so that he can swallow me up
and love me inside.

Layers...
I just saw the Chuck Close exhibit
at the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art
and I'm listening to Philip Glass
and contemplating layers and
the roles that each play upon each other,
the layer of skin
on muscle,
on bone,
on organs.
The layer of atmosphere
on biosphere,
on land,
on plants,
on animals,
on us, on us.
Me,
on top of you,
and everything else
above us.
