Quantifying Tomorrows and Yesterdays

January 28, 2016

at 4:07 she ponders that
she can capture
neither stranger nor familiar,
neither body nor mind,
neither meaning nor aesthetic--

she, instead, is the conquered--

it is fatigue, it is anger, it is dolor,
it is atrophy to be;
but she is never too low
to crush hope altogether
