The Framework of Night



We beget joy

We beget suffering

This is the night.


Last message from my mother

I'm fine, don't worry

Live on the machine degrading,


Last words from my daughter

I love you Dad

Live in the mind degrading,


Their story is innocence

And a private wound

And an aftermath.


You don't need details

You have your own partings

To hang on the framework of night.
