RICK CASTRO: WE HAVE NOT LONG TO LOVE

11/11/2025/TUESDAY/5:50AM

~RICK CASTRO: 2016~

We have not long to love. 

Light does not stay. 

The tender things are those 

we fold away. 

Coarse fabrics are the ones 

for common wear. 

In silence I have watched you 

comb your hair. 

Intimate the silence, 

dim and warm. 

I could but did not, reach 

to touch your arm. 

I could, but do not, break 

that which is still. 

(Almost the faintest whisper 

would be shrill.) 

So moments pass as though 

they wished to stay. 

We have not long to love. 

A night. A day.... ---Tennessee Williams
