ME READING STUFF

I just basically said the word "incredible" over and over for 10 minutes. And I cried. Twice.

ENJOY!

Dear friends,

I set up my $40 mic next to an old cold cup of coffee. Not OLD old, just mildly old. I probably last took a sip out of it around 1pm. It is now 10:24pm. This is night in the shittiest part of Beverly Hills. Billy made me spaghetti and salad tonight. Billy is already asleep. I will now do other things with the evening.

I'm not happy with this After Dark for whatever reason. But I am deeply happy some of you care to hear this stuff. Thank you for that.

I do wish you all understanding.

With love,

Robyn

p.s. Thank you Mark.

Take care, you who wish
to deal with names
for love. Behind their sweetness
and wrath, nothing endures.
Nothing but wounds and kisses.

Though love appears far off,
you will move into its depth.
