"Behind every man now alive stand thirty ghosts, for that is the ratio by which the dead outnumber the living." - Clarke
You do everything you can
except what is needed.
When my knees were still skinned
I would play tug-of-war
and keep pulling
even after I knew
It was over
Recently, I have been infatuated with images of women's backs. In one sense showing your back to someone is the most intimate thing a person can do, it demonstrates a primal trust, a belief that nothing will have changed when they turn around. Yet to turn away is also the ultimate sign of rejection; to walk away, to depart without a backwards glance.
I wish I knew which of these two forces attracted me to such photos.
