From out Pandora’s box there flew the questions, answers, thoughts, feelings, and I gathered them like woman do within the confines of review. Laid start to end they made no sense so I shuffled them like cards, you know, and fanned them round as if to deal the truth into mind’s memory. But soon the [...]

I understand where it came from, where it’s gone to a deep mystery, but I’m not inclined to delve and pry or not trust the process of love. But still the missing of corners and bends perturbs a traveller on roads to the end for always they should lead into straights that allow a return [...]
