Request, and some Lola Haskins

[teithiwr.livejournal.com]

I know posts like this have probably been made many many times, but I'd really appreciate some poems on the themes of love and losing it, grief, guilt, betrayal of friendship and making hard but inevitable decisions. (Elizabeth Bishop's One Art, posted here just a while ago, is the sort of thing.) Acceptance. Learning to live with loss.

Sorry for the ramble.

Here's a poem:


Love

by Lola Haskins

She tries it on, like a dress.
She decides it doesn't fit,
and starts to take it off.
Her skin comes, too.
