Lyrical Prose Quotes

“Then again, in the early morning hours, when the world outside whispers of slumber, my fingers still trace the outline of a memory. He rests there, in that blind spot between the everyday, when his presence feels most palpable, engraved on the half of the bed that remains unforgivingly empty. What a paradox of loss, this heightened sense of him in the heart of his absence.”

“You are losing it." A grave voice reaches my ear from my left shoulder. I pull down the visor and open the mirror. My shoulder critic sits there, his legs drooping over my collarbone, his face a mask of tears. "I am not," I retort. "She was here, clear as day! Well, maybe not 'clear as day' but real enough." My shoulder critic has been with me for as long as I can remember, born perhaps from only-child loneliness, or simply a part of me, like an arm or leg. He appears unbidden and then disappears again for long stretches of time, but when he is around, he is always dressed to express rather than impress.”

“לעתים רחוקות בראשית האביב, ברגעים נדירים ובלתי צפויים, הים התיכון מתכנס אל עצמו וממאן לשקף את השמים. רקיע רווי עננים כבדים וים כחול כהה, שמי תכלת מול גלים עמומים וצהבהבים, אור שמש בהיר ומנגד מים אפרפרים, המראָה המשתרעת עד האופק אינה מניחה לכיפה העצומה שמעליה להביט מטה ולראות את בבואתה במים הקרירים. רק במקום המרוחק בו נפגשים המים והשמים הולכים ונמהלים הצבעים, נמזגים לידי ערפל סמיך, אדים שבולעים את צבעי הקשת ונדמים כשער אל עולם נסתר ולא ידוע.”
