Die Kunst ist lang und kurz ist unser Leben.

In the sand we have come upon two fragments of rotted wood

on which there are traces of what may once have been

white paint, turned aureate by the sun. My brother thinks

these were sticks lashed together to fashion a cross;

but I have told him they signify nothing, and our day

is quickly over.

My beginnings seem to me far away.

Countless things have intervened; I have loved

so little, and yet so much, that I can barely speak.

I have taken accurate note of each, although

each of its self was meaningless,

aware that within me each would exist for a purpose

past comprehension. I took note and waited,

patiently, for that shock which creates

the transillumination of temporal matter,

as crystal is of an instant formed in treated water.

Thus I have waited. Life goes on, and days

draw swiftly in.
