I crawl towards her, I'm wounded, bleeding, we're together now, forever, together at last... We're crying, we can't say anything. Weeping for language, weeping for ourselves - we promise everything to each other - we give everything to each other - We make our final vows - we wait for the end - it's almost here - it's coming -Our final vows - without language, in silence - there am no others -We're silent - we can't hear you - don't say anything else - it's time for - it's time for nothing at all - silence, once again, we suppose, we're sleeping, the baby... Now everything gone, inscription after the fact, our epitaphs, our ruined lives... Thu Feb 13 17:45:51 EST 2003 ====
