"...to enclose the present moment; to make it stay; to fill it fuller and fuller, with the past, the present and the future, until it shone, whole, bright, deep with understanding."

The Gravedigger's a Daughter III - Nature's law


How long will a man lie i' the earth ere he rot?
- Hamlet


One
little two
little three
little graves
and perhaps a fourth?
All just within this season

Did I forget to write the obituaries?
Or carve the inscriptions on the headstones?
Here and there such and such do lie...

Or will I ever visit these absences again?
Will there be a need to know
where each of them is hidden?

Oblivion does to so-called love
what worms do to a corpse
It is nature's law
