It takes much courage,
more grains of time, devoured after shrewd calculations,
and insatiable patience of the presence
to pen down all instances of tales in worthy length.
Strong amusing emotions be trapped;
and freed now if not before escaped.
Affection leaping uncovered
were hidden under dust ages since.
Responsibility
Experience
Unsatisfaction
Now able to be replaced
bits to bit.
Where truth lies and hatred—renewed or distant—
Fully engraved to listing stone-audience, they are.
See all, hear anything.
Breathe completely, whisper in whispers.
Or less much be retold within folds.
I leave for all to check upon the authenticity
of my etchings.
Decipher the rest alone,
weave meanings to life,
control thy own fate in earnest pleadings on my part.
Learn lessons if chanced by offer.
Thickly coated, too.
Old records adumbrate the future’s dead ensnaring roads.
