"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

Love ~ Relationships & Sunken Ships


The weather turnend

on

the night we ended

a memory lost beneath the sea

forgotten and insignificant

until

remembered by historians of love


asking why

always why


we never ask the questions

while we make love

only when it’s over

as the archeologists excavate our bed

looking for clues to why we left

our harbor

into the November storm that broke us

made us two from one

as the chilling rains fell

while the sleet froze on our naked bodies

as we felt the waves of dereliction

while the lights went out


on


love

relationships

and

sunken ships
