those hands. those eyes. the face.
a power and surety unparalleled.
a gaze not easy to meet, and impossible to drop.
here i come. i fall, through twilights and evenings and night-times long and unhurried.

i fall, down through earth upon earth, soil under soil. beyond grave, under stone
to a new land. his burning, glorious body like fire's fire. but to touch! such cool sweetness--
it slays me and all around, a trillion bodies, fallen. come to rest.
