things transient and things of love

I saw this poster through a window at the school where I teach. Rushing off to class, there was no time to ask about it. When I came back today to get a closer look, it was gone. Sometimes the magic of things and moments lies in their transience.


These two chairs sat in the dark morning on a corner near my home, nestling together like comfortable lovers. When I came back this morning, the chairs were gone. I like to imagine someone took them home to clean up and give them care...perhaps providing a place for two to sit with knees, shoulders and arms touching. A lovely thought for dark, autumn mornings...
