i love you lily herman
it was so important to me that he used to say it that way—with my full name—because it implicated everything of me. Between those two names exists a legion of good and bad qualities: A lot of affection, kindness, compassion, and conviviality, but also fear, promiscuity, and selfishness, vulgarity and indiscretion. My stomach when it was flat and when it was rounder. My hair long and short, my poems three lines and my poems three pages. He let me know that there was nothing of me that he wanted to escape, nothing I needed to avoid in order for him to love me. That’s a human for you. Thank God they still walk among us.
