Dust and Vinegar No Nore

I will wait by the west side of the spring for you as long as I need to. I will sleep on this rack of slate, a slab of marblized, mineralized meat for you as long it merits. You must travel the desert carry peanut butter in a clear blue-azure jar here to me to be, both of us, unshackled unhindered free. Hope is my word. I invented it for the human race, hawks and eagles and crows may try to peck it away but I refuse to delay, help making the concept dust and vinegar like many places in other people are. These two things exist no longer in me since she has become the she for me. You, my friend, may doubt----- she has been a long time out in a grey world of half-shadows half light yet I will look, not to you, but her and the night. My love is all those stars shiny half-dark half-bright and...  I may be a fool but it's worth waiting by this pool when all else will remain sand.... dry, empty dead instead.
