I’ve Brought To Art
July 5, 2023But Wise Men Perceive Approaching Things
July 5, 2023He Swears
He swears from time to time to
Begin a better life
Whenever though the night comes
With its own counsellings,
With its own compromises
And its own undertakings;
But whenever the night comes
With its own domination,
Of the body that wills and wants, to that same
Fatal enjoyment, lost, he goes again.
