My favourite of Rodin’s works were the hand fragments. There were so many, some broken off and discarded from larger works like the Gates of Hell, others as studies for poses and casts. Hands are my favourite of all the body’s shapes, with their endless, endless holding

The Love Cook

by Ron Padgett

Let me cook you some dinner.  Sit down and take off your shoes  and socks and in fact the rest  of your clothes, have a daiquiri,  turn on some music and dance  around the house, inside and out,  it’s night and the neighbors  are sleeping, those dolts, and  the stars are shining bright,  and I’ve got the burners lit  for you, you hungry thing.
