Ali, about a thrice-committed mistake:Getting caught up on my reading. Don't know how I missed this, but wow! You are an amazing, amazingly talented writer. You know already that I'm a fan, but I am a thrice-committed one now. Or something like that. Well done; do you have my heart, or a piece of it? Because you speak for it, my heart. Truly.
Ali, about Resurrection:And again, more catch-up. These words, how they speak to me:
What do you say now? This is a backward
romance, an abandoned
apology
that I condemn, but--
still, I wish to hear it. My reasoning, now,
is merely rhetoric; no wall of brick
or steel, but a cheap show of smoke. I
am not who you knew, not wholly,
but secreted in pieces
that you'll understand, as if
you were a refugee
at the last remaining
respite, before Nirvana:
no, these are not illusionary offerings,
but you must unmask the truth carefully,
not simply because you owe it
(which you do), but because
this is a world away
from what you've known,
and the touch you had of me
was only just
a coy beginning
oh, dear. you are brilliant.
