How to be a good writer. An Entomologist's Last Love Letter by Jared Singer. Dear samanthai’m sorrywe have to get a divorcei know that seems like an odd way to start a love letter but let me explain:it’s not youit sure as hell isn’t meit’s just human beings don’t love as well as insects doi love you.. far too much to let what we have be ruined by the failings of our species i saw the way you looked at the waiter last nighti know you would never DO anything, you never do but..i saw the way you looked at the waiter last night did you know that when a female fly accepts the pheromones put off by a male fly, it re-writes her brain, destroys the receptors that receive pheromones, sensing the change, the male fly does the same. when two flies love each other they do it so hard, they will never love anything else ever again. if either one of them dies before procreation can happen both sets of genetic code are lost forever. now that… is dedication. this is not true i could never do that for you.
The Worms Crawn In, The Worms Crawl Out. Time Does Not Bring Relief: You All Have Lied by Edna St. Vincent Millay. By PoetryGrrrl on March 25, 2014 Time does not bring relief; you all have lied Who told me time would ease me of my pain!

There are a hundred places where I fear To go,—so with his memory they brim. And entering with relief some quiet place Where never fell his foot or shone his face I say, “There is no memory of him here!” And so stand stricken, so remembering him.
