listen .

something strange
in the way
her voice has a tone of purified anguish

it reminds me of a summer spent with you
at the edge of innocence
peering into the abyss of experience

that final kiss before the fall
and
how every summer since has held a sense of loss.

the girl's voice - sweet and heartbreaking
carries the same tune

maybe that's why you love her
why i can't look her in the eyes.

Still turning.

This is the way the world ends

This is the way the world ends

This is the way the world ends 

Not with a bang but a whimper.

Last Words.

I was overwhelmed recently with the hauntingly beautiful

and poignant last words of a world renowned artist.

La tristesse durera toujours.

"The sadness lasts forever."

Vincent Van Gogh
