“…He made him wake. He ordered him to eat
my heart. He ate my burning heart. He ate it
submissively, as if afraid as LOVE wept.”Frank Bidar
They gave me an apple to remind me
of death. I know that cities telegraph
asking for kerosene. The veil I saw flying
fell in the desert.
—The End of The World
Even if I now saw you
Only once,
I would long for you
Through worlds,
Worlds.
-Izumi Shikibu
