Save me from curious Conscience, that still lords

Its strength for darkness, burrowing like a mole;

Turn the key deftly in the oiled wards,

And seal the hushed Casket of my Soul.

- John Keat's, 'To Sleep'.

Great holes secretly are dug where earth's
pores ought to suffice,
and things have learnt to walk that
ought to crawl

T.S. Elliot 'The Carnivalle'

Broken stone
In death’s other kingdom
Not with a bang
Gathered on this beach
Of empty men

-T.s. Elliot 'The Hollowed Men'

▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

To give life you must take life,
and as our grief falls flat and hollow
upon the billion-blooded sea
I pass upon serious inward-breaking shoals rimmed
with white-legged, white-bellied rotting creatures
lengthily dead and rioting against surrounding scenes.
Dear child, I only did to you what the sparrow
did to you; I am old when it is fashionable to be
young; I cry when it is fashionable to laugh.
I hated you when it would have taken less courage
to love.

- Charles Bukowski, 'As the Sparrow'

On my desk is a photograph of you
taken by the woman who loved you then.

In some photos her shadow falls
in the foreground. In this one,
her body is not that far from yours.

Did you hold your head that way
because she loved it?

Gabeba Baderoon, 'Old Photographs'

What are you afraid of losing, when nothing in the world belongs to you?
Because I too am momentary, as all other things are.

- Marcus Aurelius
