I know a wise woman who usually charges by the hour, but when things get really bad, she’ll will give me 10 emergency minutes for free. I stand in the Centra, beside the frozen goods, and take counsel on a mobile phone. And as I stand beside the frozen peas the wise woman says she’s discovered that after loss you get attacked more often. The wise woman doesn’t know why this is and she can’t say when the attacks will abate, but at least, she says, you can be aware. each oneMelts when its flight is done;Holds frozen lovelinessA moment, even less;Suspends itself in time –And passes like a rhyme.
