Footnote #5


Sometimes too much of quantity is lost in search of quality.
It's that haunted feeling of anticipated loss:
Perfection is a terrible, and terrific, illusion.
Nevertheless, illusions keep the ego sated.
O Perfect Muse, come to me. Now.

So true.
We forever keep searching for that Hollywood-esque perfection, almost forgetting to smell those subtle perfumes that forever mark home in our memories.
Thankyou. It's great food for thought..

Index Of First Lines

(a cutout) The grey cat stirs upon the ledge, The bay is thick with flecks of white— Swift rays across the falling wall below, The floor before my bed is bright. From crumbling walls white-headed crows take flight. And half out of sleep I watch your sleeping face: Grateful for the resin-scented night. I get up and go out in a solitary daze… Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!
