“If she loves you, if she really loves you, you’ll know it. If you can wake up to her staring at you and it’s not even mildly creepy, if you catch her smelling the shoulder of the hooded sweatshirt you lent her for an autumn walk at the beach…if she makes you a pancake in the shape of a shark…if she laughs at your jokes when they’re funny and makes fun of you when they’re not…she loves you, of course she loves you.”
—Does She Love You? by Pasha Malla - The Morning News
“when i wake up & you look at me that way, my heart turns into a thousand mirrors, & all of the pieces reflect the deep pools of light that hold your love.”
—pieces of glass.

What scene would I want to be enveloped in
more than this one,
an ordinary night at the kitchen table,
floral wallpaper pressing in,
white cabinets full of glass,
the telephone silent,
a pen tilted back in my hand?
It gives me time to think
about all that is going on outside—
leaves gathering in corners,
lichen greening the high grey rocks,
while over the dunes the world sails on,
huge, ocean-going, history bubbling in its wake.
But beyond this table
there is nothing that I need
