(instance)

lying outside,
naked.

on a towel, on a chair, on a wooden deck atop cool soil.
reading, and being read, by the sun, and near it too.
its moving away from me now, away from all of us.

i cover up and go inside.
this is familiar.
i find the computer and a cat that purrs
i find nothing at all
and i write about that.

i feel the love of the people i know.
they've always felt much farther then they do now,
and i don't know why, but this moving in is pulling them nearer.
we're magnets, and i don't mind.

Feel the love of the people you know, and bask in it.

But the love of Imogen you don't know. Trust me. I mean you only good. Imogen's love, it is better not to know. Those who have made its acquaintance live long enough to regret it... and no longer.
