Our story weaved in out of several towns and many years:
We did not follow a straight path of meet, join, disperse
it was/ is more of a series of lines that converged then diverged
In twenty years, forty ?
I am sure we will meet again
maybe just a chance meeting at a long closed suburban mall
something poetic about a third chance at a second hand store
thanks to Majorana for the title
starving angel,
ripe with hate,
filled through with pain,
pregnant with hell's fury,
he kneels before the slate concrete altar,
rancid and festering, bound and bare,
where he submits in holy penitence,
to be scourged and beaten.
fallen angel,
far from light,
lost to heaven,
eternal purgation.
left forever in the dark,
his skin knows no light, no glory,
once
…I had a copy of "Mason & Dixon", by Thomas Pynchon, for over 10 years. I got it for free or very cheap from a library surplus sale, and I carried the hardback book around with me, from place to place, for years. I had it in a box of "must reads" in storage. And after a decade, I finally decided to dive in. The only other book by Pynchon I had read, 20 years previously, was "The Crying of Lot 49". Well, the only book I read successfully, I had tried Gravity's Rainbow but never finished it.
