Anne Carson just won the Nobel Prize in literature. I don’t know her work very well but if it’s all like this, I should fix that. Because what a way to describe someone you love!
O Small Sad Ecstasy of Love
by Anne Carson
I like being with you all night with closed eyes.
What luck—here you are
coming
along the stars!
I did a road trip
all over my mind and heart
and
there you were
kneeling by the roadside
with your little toolkit
fixing something.
Give me a world, you have taken the world I was.
