The shape of time.-Energy Void.

"Around Sisyphus the world ripples; never the same mountain twice. He has climbed so many times, there are no more sane configurations: only crystals, scales, upward-slanting water, velvet underfoot, his boulder crackling as it rolls over a pristine expanse of egg" --@ctrlcreep

"The Smiles of the Bathers

The smiles of the bathers fade as they leave the water,
And the lover feels sadness fall as it ends, as he leaves his love.
The scholar, closing his book as the midnight clock strikes, is hollow and old:
The pilot's relief on landing is no release.
These perfect and private things, walling us in, have imperfect and public endings--
Water and wind and flight, remembered words and the act of love
Are but interruptions. And the world, like a beast, impatient and quick,
Waits only for those who are dead. No death for you. You are involved."

--Weldon Kees
