Residual heat sustains;
Slow cool to zero

This is the blog of a woman who is seriously on the edge and I mean right ON the edge…no, not there… just a little bit further… further than that…no, further still…just a tiny bit more… just move slightly to the right a little…no, that’s too much…just move a tad to the left…that’s right, just there…now you’ve moved too far to the left… Damn, what part of the ‘on the edge’ do you not understand? Oh, and her matricidal boy genius, come devil spawn.

Great haiku. I thought we were going to have a continuation of the heat here, but the weatherman was right. It is raining now and the temperatures are cooler. Yeah.

This is how I boil my eggs, or one way. Makes them perfect and saves electricity or gas, depending on what kind of stove top you have.

I’m in two minds whether to say what was on my mind, as explanations can fall flat… So please feel free to not read on! What I had in mind was a relationship founded on lust and passion, that never developed the friendship to sustain it beyond the physical urge, but the two never parted either, continuing a loveless dance, enmity building, literally not caring about the other partner. I wonder how many older couples who married in a generation when divorce was rare would recognise this situation…
But it’s haiku, so any interpretation is good 🙂

Wow, I can’t imagine staying in a loveless marriage for years and years. It’s probably like torture. With your story in mind I reread the haiku and I totally get it. 😉

I remember reading magazine articles on it last year – it was about “living apart, together”. I know some people who it applies to, to some degree… like you, I couldn’t imagine it for myself
