Ars Moriendi

My Bright Particular Star is fading

And when he finally collapses into himself
I will be trapped forever in stasis 
Around his Black Hole

Already I feel stretched to infinite thinness 
By the infinity of his dying

  1. I was referred here by your brother, Jack, whom I've known since HP days when we worked together and found some common threads in our lives. Wow. Thanks for your thoughts.

    In digesting your posts I wrote this:

    Ars Morendi.2

    lives
    so connected
    through hardship
    and love

    experienced
    bound together
    with eyes,
    heart
    and hands

    death
    approaches
    the end of all that has been
    the beginning of the next

    unknown
    unanchored

    concern for self
    for the other
    finds no purchase

    love
    is out of our hands

    Thanks for posting your unfolding story
