May 31, 1985My dearest Soulmate,
Today I want to give to you.
I suppose because I’m uncomfortable
with the expectations of receiving
I’ve felt around this time of year before
my birthday. I decided to love
you physically by giving you
this wonderful book from a man
who wrote this so long ago*. I wish
I could have known him but
I’m a wisher all together, aren’t I?
I have dreams…
Loving You,
Tina R.*seems like yesterday some of
those words ring so clear
In November I bought Leaves of Grass from Moe’s Books in Oakland.
The inscription was the main reason I got it. On page 224 “Beautiful Women”
is highlighted- it’s the only other writing in the book.
