AT THE END OF A SERENE PARENTHESIS

ON THE DOORSTEP

OF THE ABSOLUTE

THERE

ARE

FLOWERS OF LOVE

AND

FLOWERS OF DAWN

THAT I WILL HOLD

AND DIE UPON

AT THE MERCY

OF FIRE AND THE

INDISCRIMINATE DUST.

I WILL LEAVE THIS WORLD

AND ITS BABBLING GOSSIP.

I WILL SAY ADIEU TO ITS

WARS AND CRIMES...

TO ALL OF ITS BLOOD-COVERED

BATTLE LINES!

ADIEU...

ADIOS...

GOODBYE!
