Machine generated contents note: To husband is to tender

As if one could be snatched away

Husband watches who comes over the hills

To husband is not just to protect

To think and rethink tenderness

The male falsetto is particularly tender

The female grosbeak sings

Grosbeaks are one of the few species

These are the species in which the female sings only occasionally

The grosbeaks sit together

Descort (lai)

Do the math

Groups and circles, where our circles

But it is not only us in these circles

Mathematically we can derive a triangle

Even geometry

Every space we've been in

Two circles filled with letters

Two circles like jars filled with jellybeans

Held within these circles we are imagining

To husband is to tender

Husbondi

Wif wyf wif

Of uncertain origin and disputed etymology

Bad wife

Kwipe, kwip from Tocharian lost language

The modern sense of "female spouse" began

The veil is part of the sculpture

Poetry joins with art

Aspens across a mountain face

The issue of Plutarch Isis statue translation inscription

Guy Davenport perhaps / quoting Ronald Johnson

Voice Crack

I am equal but you do not equal me

But (as)

Aequa

The Mother of loves imitates the figures of the moon

In this garden native plants for pollinators

The visual of two lines crossing

Aeaea

Tocharian

I whistle a fricative

There is a certeine herbe-wife, Of whom if you do buye

Oyster wives; tripe wives; poultry wives

Now go to the husband

After Hypnerotomachia Poliphili

A way through the tender country of affection

Un coeur aussi gros

The bird husband (o my shadow of myself)

The bowerbird invites the bowerbird to its bower

A way through the tender country of ajfection

The tender country

Deux matelots qui ne s'etaient jamais quittes

Two sailors who never spoke

Wake in the night

Apollinaire wrote a letter to his fiancee

The times Apollinaire wrote to his fiancee

At the same time I wish

At the same time you wish I

In this way she counseled her son instructed her squirrel

Where color began and changed and ended

Why always the word always

Constellation

Chiaroscuro

The anagrams of Saturn

A way through the tender country of affection.
