sludge—simmering birdlime—
though we know Norns' winding
net merrily kills each
even the tall towers

“Only the paltry, superfluous, shameless wishes are fulfilled, and the great ones, the ones worthy of a human being, remain unattainable.”
—The Secret Heart of the Clock, Elias Canetti; tr. Joel Agee (via @dreamsofbeing_)
