“We are served by organic ghosts, he thought, who, speaking and writing, pass through this our new environment. Watching, wise, physical ghosts from the full-life world, elements of which have become for us invading but agreeable splinters of a substance that pulsates like a former heart.”

Description:
Baby baby, where did our love go?
Much of the prose and poetry in this folder is an experiment in a topic about impossible love or alien love or unrequited love.
If they start to work for me, I might try to develop them into a more ambitious idea.
I've tried to dig into 35 years of relationships for what little inspiration I could glean.
I hope nobody takes offence at them.
Love and lust manifest themselves in many ways, some of them impossible, improbable, impractical, inconvenient or just plain unexpected.
