Bygones Quotes

“Bygones"

The weatherman says heavy rain,
instead it dribbles like an old man
unable to urinate.

In the small orbit of the car,
daylight clings to my collar, simmers in sweat, but I shall drive despite this meridian fry.
I travel in the tremble of tin and tires.

Up ahead, Barron Lake, your lost butterfly locket, Woodport, the warm rocks before the dive.

The sun legs gently over the turbine hills, and always with a little luck I find your house, where torn cotton knits dry on an iron gate, and a vintage bicycle sinks in the garden.

Over rum we discuss the length of our severance, agree to let bygones vanish amid the fray. Then kisses wheedle the lower back down till daybreak quiet as cat paws... treads the bedroom floor.”
― Robert Karaszi

“Confess your sins, pray towards the Heavens and be set free from all bondages.”
― Lailah Gifty Akita, Think Great: Be Great!

“At sunset say goodbye to hurt, to suffering, goodbye to the pain
you caused others. Good bye, bye, don't cry.”
― Joy Harjo, An American Sunrise
