Horses were turned loose in the child's sorrow. Black and roan, cantering through snow.
The way light fills the hand with light, November with graves, infancy with white.
White. Given lilacs, lilacs disappear. Then low voices rising in walls.
The way they withdrew from the child's body and spoke as if it were not there.
What ghost comes to the bedside whispering You?
-- With its no one without...

letmefallbacksouth:
There is a loneliness in this world so great that you can see it in the slow movement of the hands of a clock. People so tired, mutilated, either by love or no love. People are just not good to each other, we are afraid. Our educational system tells us that we can all be big winners but it hasn’t told us about the gutters or the suicides. Or the terror of one person aching...

linesentwined:
the sun, a spy peeping through cracked blinds vision disintegrating sleep tossed from a soft mattress, body’s indentation marking a resting place. the sky, a canvas rusting growing ginger skin ink enveloping space lifted from closer embraces, love’s intention declaring a simple truth.

From one language to another.
A problem that finds itself persistent is translating work effectively. There are some who feel that to translate a work, say, from Spanish to English, leaves something to be lost. The meaning can become muddled if not translated correctly, not to mention that there are terms and words that are simply not able to translate well. Do you find translating a work to be a hassle? Is it a hassle worth...

whoartgos:
it was all too much, so our drinks climbed the edge of our cups to join us where we sat
