  • dusk arising

    A wonderful description of striking a match on a well worn matchbox's sandpaper strip.

    It takes such insight to see the poetry such a mundane task, now another fragment of the past. Similar to my sex life really.

  • Neville

        If I read more into this, it will bring on a hefty swoon. Fido will chuck buckets of cold water on me! lol.
        Did ya know Mary (Hopkin)? Not personally of course - you know her songs?! 'Twas about the time I stopped watching 'Top of the Pops' I reckon.

        • Neville


          I did not know that .. but am not surprised... thanks for popping in sir... have a great Tuesday

          • orchidee

            What would I know, about any alternative reading of it? Fido never lets me have much ardour or excitement. He says - of course it's ONLY about striking matches! lol.

          • peto

            Yep
            Just how it usually works for me
            And over as quickly

              This kind of behavior will kill you! You also know it's habit forming or addictive. There will be life-altering consequences, not to mention the cost. So if you have to chose which to lose, just keep on smoking.

                See how all that smoking has aged me...
                I forget what came before that....
                AHHHH!!!! YES, lighting of the match.

                • Neville


                  Hey, you wont believe how much I have missed you Suresh, thanks for stopping by and saying hi.. Hope you are safe and well my friend

                  Neville

                  • Suresh

                    Yes, and you too have been in my thoughts continuously.
                    Hoping that you have recovered well, and believing so by your humor
