Carmen 38

Without knowing what it is to die, I am left with very little to say.

Is one a savage if bodies killed in the crash of war are not mutilated?

Can one be a Monster if they do not abuse their children?


The meanings of words are polluted and obscured.

My thoughts leave the woman I love, for a moment, to fixate upon

some simpler tasks. Perhaps a condemnation of my father,

or someone who wrote a bad book, once.


My dear, the wine turns quickly to vinegar.

If you will not have things one way, will you accept the other?
