I Come Closer To My Desk As

At First I Felt Dizzy - Not With The Kind Of Dizziness That Makes The Body Reel But The Kind That's Like A Dead Emptiness In The Brain, An Instinctive Awareness Of The Void.

I Know Nothing And My Heart Aches

I Come Closer To My Desk As To A Bulwark Against Life.

My Soul's The Present Shadow Of A Presence Gone.

There Are Ships Sailing To Many Ports, But Not A Single One Goes Where Life Is Not Painful.
