We talk about sex , the before and during..but rarely the after. It is perhaps the most profound part that it can just break us down, remove any barriers to really feeling connected. Thanks for the vivid imagery, the connection of proecreation to passion so well done. I love this poem about after. We talk about sex , the before and during..but rarely the after.

Her images of thread, mountains and veins of minerals are brilliant. Thank you for this poem. How intense yet calm is Sharon Olds’ painting of

Such a normal yet beautiful picture. I cannot see beyond either... and sometimes I forget to celebrate. Thanks for this vivid reminder.... We will certainly miss this time in life when it's over.... I hope you'll keep writing and showing us the beauty in the other times too! Very touching.
