For Janet, at the New Year
The way I want to love you, the way I want to be loved is with such abundance, with so much willing profusion— like those tiny blue flowers that turn a glade into a sky blue lake, or our stars, brilliance strewn across the black felt sky like a child gone wild with glitter and glue
I want a love that quickens the dead wood of our hearts, rubbing life into the sticks with the power of seasons, revealing brittleness to be only winter with buds straining against the bark.
Ellen Bass, from My Lover is a Woman: Contemporary Lesbian Love Poems (Ballantine Books, 1996)

"I am good, but not an angel. I do sin, but I am not the devil. I am just a small girl in a big world trying to find someone to love." ~Marilyn Monroe
