Ashen 11:12
"Stimmen vom Galgenbaum her, / wo Spätholz und Frühholz die Ringe / tauschen und tauschen." - Paul Celan The silence of the dead merges with our own. The names of the dead baptize our young. Mirrors made of silence reflect the past. Pieces of night fall through the centuries, slowly like ash falls. Our dead depart in ash. Ash spreads in the air. The air spreads in our lungs. This side of the river we only wait.

Buried in the sand of time, speech is the speechless witness of all pyramids. I name the end, I name the night in all tongues. I name the night its many names: come and steal the sky and swathe the earth. The wanderer spheres map the sky, their lights trace the steps of time; men have built and created in an age what one night can obliterate. "On sait ce que sont le soleil, les cieux. Nous avons le secret de leurs mouvements. Dans la main d’Elohim, instrument aveugle, ressort insensible, le monde attire nos hommages. Les révolutions des empires, les faces des temps, les nations, les conquérants de la science, cela vient d’un atome qui rampe, ne dure qu’un jour, détruit le spectacle de l’univers dans tous les âges." - Lautréamont

"…they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth." - Hebrews 11:13 "Till finally you hear how words are coming to an end…" - Samuel Beckett I rot, as alone my father before me and alone my son after me. Buried alive in the desert sandglass, there is nothing left for the body but begging for silence—as a way to repel silence. The word silence. The word silence. Pulse of hearts is dead in echo. Now the worm feasts among corpses. We were but strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
