The sound you hear is water; you will hear it forever.

That Hath Such People In It"

finding the door that leads out of yourself
...where you live with the gracious and light-footed creatures
that thrive in the glaze of your art and freedom.
...Soon you will
...banish yourself from the one flawless place.
