"You leave the carnival with your arm around your girl and climb behind the wheel of your car. It feels like nothing could go wrong."

Matrix comes from the Latin for womb, mother, source. This poem is not about absence, but the silence of listening. Not gone, only unheard. She waits. She pulses. We forgot how to hear her. #PoemsAbout #SilentPlanets @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk

#RIP Robert Redford 📷 Terry O'Neill, mid-1970s "On Fifth Avenue a girl approaches him as though he were an altar. “'Are you really Robert Redford?' she asks. 'Only when I'm alone,' he answers." - Martha Weinman Lear

Bookmarking the excerpt & so want to read the book! "Masad shows the highest regard for science fiction, both the people writing it and for its potential to hold a mirror up to our world (though I would say, in this case, the mirror is more of a prism, endlessly refracting light and meaning)." 💙
