Blood
And there are other memories, still looking for something to bite, like fierce, unsatisfied teeth. They gnaw us to the last bone, devouring the long silence of all that lies behind us. ~ Pablo Neruda When he was a young man, he would sleep on his back, laid out on the ground, generally where ever he happened to drop from exhaustion.

Sometimes someone can mean so much to you, that not even the truth can change your mind ~Unknown
There are times in life where we want for something so much that we push all reason aside. He stands with his little girl hanging onto his index fingers, her bare feet wide apart, a struggle for balance. He takes a small step backward asking her for a ( Read more... ) -
Reflex
You are all my reasons ~ A Beautiful Mind
She was born in the spring, near the time of the birthing of the lambs. Small and pink and sweet with a fuzz of pale hair. When he touches the palm of her hand her small fingers reflexively wrap around his, too small to even meet. Over time people will have fancy labels for such a thing, in this time he ( Read more... )
