“The more familiar two people become, the more the language they speak together departs from that of the ordinary, dictionary-defined discourse. Familiarity creates a new language, an in-house language of intimacy that carries reference to the story the two lovers are weaving together and that cannot be readily understood by others.”— Alain de Botton, On Love

I still sing to you,
though I have not seen you in years.Year of the live oak that rooted in my toes,
branched between my legs,
wrapped its fingers
around the tinderbox of my heart
which I closed
against your knocking.— Jenny Molberg, from “Apology,” Refusal
