“And if
the air is chilly
she feels it - in fact, if you
put your hand on her arm
you would know she still remembers
how touching changed the weather,
how a hand skimming the wrist
was once a window
opening onto a better season
where people did better things
than be lonely, where the wind
was a river of candlelight
pushing the blue silhouettes of trees.”
― Tim Seibles, Hurdy-Gurdy

“what is the lesson of history, if not
that we owe each other more bread, more
friendship, fewer lies,
less cruelty.”

“...so she stays there
remembering the warmth of honey
between her toes, with her blood
not humming, with the sound
of the name almost always coming to her.”
― Tim Seibles, Hurdy-Gurdy
