"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

Time For Goodbye






He remembers a kiss
From long ago
"Racing in the street..."
Down Kingsway
In his car
Through the night
"Time for goodbye again," he said
She said, “no - time for hello again"
A kiss in the morning
Phone call the next day
A letter or two over years
Silence after 
Goodbye can last so long
As
Kisses fade
