Self-Portrait Asleep in the Tomb of Mererula at Sakkaara (Duane Michals) |
When I ceased striving
long enough to realize
I was starving
for unconditional love
those who cared most
were dead
The rest of my life
rendered desperate
What we all want
is too much to ask
Things happened
I don't want to tell you about
But some things
happened to you too.
—with ultimate lines from Hedgie Choi's Salvage.
