Don’t Let Go
I remember how seeing the shape of your mouth that first time, I kept staring until my blood turned to rain. Some things take root in the brain and just don’t let go.
– T.S. Eliot, Slow Dance
While There is Still Time
We should be careful
Of each other, we should be kind
While there is still time.
