Prose
is not to be read aloud but to oneself alone at night, and it is not quick as
poetry but rather a gathering web of insinuations which go further than names
however shared can ever go. Prose should be a long intimacy between strangers
with no direct appeal to what both may have known. It should slowly appeal to
feelings unexpressed, it should in the end draw tears out of the stone.
Poems are flings.Infatuations with a moment and the emotion that ensued. Prose is eternal. A reflection of time spent. A relationship you are grateful to have had with this world; however it may have ended.
