Poem by Dorothea Grossman (and request)

[moldybetamax.livejournal.com]

Hello :) I'm looking for poems about being single, alone, unattached, unloved, free... and all the other words you can think off that can be related to being single. It doesn't matter if it's a happy or a bitter one. I'm looking around for poems I  can relate to in terms of my relationship status. Your replies are very much appreciated :)

Meanwhile, a short Grossman poem offering:

The Two Times I Loved You the Most In a Car

By Dorothea Grossman

It was your idea

to park and watch the elephants

swaying among the trees

like royalty

at that make-believe safari

near Laguna.

I didn’t know anything that big

could be so quiet.

And once, you stopped

on a dark desert road

to show me the stars

climbing over each other

riotously

like insects

like an orchestra

thrashing its way

through time itself

I never saw light that way

again.
