sorrow
a day longer than a month of joy
after joy
follows
ill weather unsent for
man is the author of.
he gains enough
who loses
who loves
will always find
something to mourn.
seldom alone
what the worm is to wood
comes uninvited
dwells on the confines of pleasure
pays no debts to the soul.
like rice in an attic
higher than your knees
birds fly over your head
build nests in your hair.
