emily_dickenson the swinger of birches did you know emily dickenson was in love? she was in love with a doctor who was married. i wonder if she had an affair with him. she only wrote him letters, is writing letters to someone you love considered being adultrous or infidel? i don't think that such words should even exist. they give a bad name to the word love and all the things that can be encompassed in that word. they are just things that let us all know we are human. you shouldn't reject all parts of your humanity you should embrace them. with you, i pretend i am emily dickenson. i write you love poems and letters and think of you every night. you live a distance from me, the way that emily's doctor lived in california. she liked older men too, although you're only older by a year. sometimes i wonder if your eyes will read all the little things i write for you, about you. maybe when i'm dead, like emily, a little bird will fly out from underneath the brim of a well kept secret and people will appreciate what i have to say. maybe you could to, if i die before you do. 030116 ... megan she spoke to a flower one time... it inspired me to do the same. 030116 what's it to you? who go blather from
