I’m haunted by all the space

Spinning like a ghost
on the bottom of a
top,
I’m haunted by all
the space that I
will live without
you.

Richard Brautigan, "Boo, Forever"

I knew them once

“I’ve forgotten the words with which to tell you. I knew them once, but I’ve forgotten them, and now I’m talking to you without them.”

You saw nothing in Hiroshima.

"...when I'll have forgotten you...I'll remember you as the symbol of love's forgetfulness.  I'll think of this...as the horror of oblivion."

Hiroshima Mon Amour, Marguerite Duras

Duras writes

"She says people ought to learn to live like them, with the body abandoned in a wilderness, and in the mind the memory of a single kiss, a single word, a single look to stand for a whole love."

~ Marguerite Duras
