INTOXICATION
Boris Pasternak
from Poems of Dr Zhivago
Neath a willow with ivy entangled
We take cover in blustery weather.
My arms are wreathed about you;
In my raincape we huddle together.
I was wrong: Not ivy, my dearest,
But hops encircle this willow.
Well, then, let's spread in its shelter
My cape for a rug and a pillow!

Sigh......such sweet love! Like honey it drips over them.
NOTE: If anyone is interested in following Cornell's Great Blue Heron nest cam, mom heron has laid her first egg, and dad is right there helping. These are awesome birds! http://cams.allaboutbirds.org/channel/8/Great_Blue_Herons/
You are such a romantic...
