What we leave behind....

Immortality tempts us like a rich jewel in Shakespeare's ear...

Out, out brief candle, as we hang upon the cheek of night, the full moon...and immortality

  

   tempts us like a rich jewel in Shakespeare's ear,

   Picasso wields his insane brush nervously, 

   artists everywhere wolfing down their own saliva, 

   walking shadows bent with prophetic blessings,

   over-spending themselves on foot,

   death be not proud, you cannot win their souls,

   the full moon courts them as they

   walk the lives of their children.
