HE SAID, MARIE, MARIE, HOLD ON TIGHT

And when we were children, staying at the archduke's,
My cousin's, he took me out on a sled,
And I was frightened. He said, Marie,
Marie, hold on tight. And down we went.
In the mountains, there you feel free.
I read, much of the night, and go south in the winter.

love and learning

today, writing to pak, i came to the conclusion that love is not really it.
madilyn came back from babysitting last night on 86th street. the child in question was a chinese adopted 4 year old who has saks bags in her room, and is growing up in a jewish home, and loves the "ladybug and the thread". she was a pretty child, and pretty children usually have it their way. beautiful girls should not just be raised on love.
you are the quiet one tonight.
i will carry my silence, maybe when it gets heavy we can stop to rest for a while. it's a long way.

the silence that stood between two bodies took a long time to settle, when it settled, it settled like snow. they were from another country, and were still trying to understand whether they liked the silence of the snow.
now we are both in exile now.
and i am sitting here while it snows, and thinking, love and learning. what a lovely ring, love and learning.
