Love rode 1500 miles- Judy Grahn

[emmmjay.livejournal.com]

Love rode 1500 miles on a grey
hound bus & climbed in my window
one night to surprise
both of us.
the pleasure of that sleepy
shock has lasted a decade
now or more because she is
always still doing it and I am
always still pleased. I do indeed like
aggressive women
who come half a continent
just for me; I am not saying that patience
is virtuous, Love
like anybody else, comes to those who
wait actively
and leave their windows open.

Judy Grahn

Bless you for the appearance of Grahn, who expressed our lives way before, it seems, "coming out' was a political act, or much dared, really.
