So I come back to saying this good-by,
\nA sort of ceremony of my own,
\nThis stepping backward for another glance.
\nPerhaps you’ll say we need no ceremony,
\nBecause we know each other, crack and flaw,
\nLike two irregular stones that fit together.
\nYet still good-by, because we live by inches
\nAnd only sometimes see the full dimension.
\nYour stature’s one I want to memorize–
\nYour whole level of being, to impose
\nOn any other comers, man or woman.
\nI’d ask them that they carry what they are
\nWith your particular bearing, as you wear
\nThe flaws that make you both yourself and human. <\/p>\n{ from Adrienne Rich’s “Stepping Backward” }<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
