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."
