Ars Longa, Vita Brevis, (Valse)

 


the day goes fast   thru brightened arms,
          into a
                 livid glow
                         that lingers
                                     far longer than
                                                         it's worth.

h o w            could this have happened,   child?

h o w             could I have failed you thus?

for what it's worth, the price was too dear.

the torture much too exquisite..........far longer
                                                                       far longer than
                                                            for    what    it    is   worth
                                                                in any 'context',   [whether
                                                                   hellish or heavenly], the
                                                                        cost has killed, and
                                                                       killed not  gently
