if only for a moment (poetry)

See all of if only for a moment, no other writeups in this node.

I give myself	Drink your tea slowly and reverently, as if it is the axis on which the world earth revolves---slowly, evenly, without rushing toward the future. Live the actual moment. Only this moment is life.	Oil painting -Music from another room	There are only these moments strong and fiery. The rest is love and your imminent departure.
I did not need it. I was strong. I was steady. I knew what I was doing.	I wrote you a letter on the bus back from the city, but that's a different kind of weary	she does not know how much I need this	i think i could love you
i don't love e2. i love when it touches the ideal.	My hands, a backrub, a cup of tea, my shoulder, my lips, my silence	Breathe, Relax, Aim, Slack, Squeeze
