"The world breaks every one and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry."
~ Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell To Arms



"Our lives disconnect and reconnect, we move on, and later we may touch one another, again bounce away. This is the felt shape of a human life, neither simply linear nor wholly disjunctive nor endlessly bifurcating, but rather this bouncey sequence of bumping into's and tumblings apart."
~ Salman Rushdie, The Ground Beneath Her Feet

I Remember A Kiss


I remember a kiss

Long ago

"Racing in the street..."

Down kingsway


Time for goodbye

Time for hello

In the car

In the night


Goodbye

Goodbye

Again

And

Again

Over

And

Over


A kiss in the morning

A phone call the next day

A letter

Then silence


Goodbye can last so long

As

Kisses fade into the night
