she gathered to her

All her love and bundled all the photographs she could find; closing the door behind her, she hoped to leave nothing but dust.

 

The minarets were wailing and though he agreed it was a good idea at the time, he ground at his teeth in his sleep, waking every morning to the taste of chalk and divorce.

 

There was moment; she knew you loved her. But it was only a moment.
