the rabbits are lovers or sisters sometimes / it's hard to tell sex / from breathing / earlier I had scooped them / from the pavement / they were crushed but only / kinda one / had a dented half-face / the other's back flattened like / a courage sock / I cradled them wetly

But God will know the slow tread of an old couple’s love for each other, and understand how black shadows make part of its whole.

I know that I am only a few pages into "The Buried Giant", but I already think that people that didn't like it also don't like legends or fairy tales because that is how this book feels like.

The giant, once well buried, now stirs. When soon he rises, as surely he will, the friendly bonds between us will prove as knots young girls make with the stems of small flowers.

Not quite as good as his others I’ve read, but it does pose an interesting question of whether it’s better to remember or forget. Ishiguro is a treasure.

What Axl and Beatrice are going through in the book “The buried giant”, by Kazuo Ishiguro is anxiety or fear of forgetting memories, the ones they made together. And that if the memories are taken away, what is there to remember of love? So in the fear, the couple travels and it’s beautiful and humane, the fear, of your brain ridding you of the memory of your beloved and how it sets you against so many other things in your life.

Similarly, memory is portrayed in the film “before midnight”. Natalia talking of the process of hers and her forgetting her husband’s face is laden with paths and expressions of love and memory becoming a hurdle there. If and here, when Natalia starts forgetting Elias’ face, she loses a tangible picture in her head of a man she loved, and that’s a loss ‘relived’ according to her.

[the idea of memory in time-dimensions, ‘falling in love’ being in the centre]
