When my wife tells me that she wasn t able to listen to my poems carefully, I am convinced that my worst fears have come true; but when, knowing how I hear her, she adds that she felt too close to them, that she felt, in fact, like a wooden instrument upon which they were being played, something inside me shifts and, for the first time, I glimpse the secret inner life music shares with marriage.
We live like barnacles clinging to rocks swept night and day by tides of love.
