its beak in ripples,
the mirror shatters-- pieces;
I sit in silence.
There is always something left to love.

I sit in silence.
Isn't that immortality--
Being the present?
ex umbris et imaginibus in veritatem

"There is adventure in simply being among those we love, and among the things we love -- and beauty, too."

To be imperfect
is to be what evil don't want
simple and yourself

simple and yourself
that is all you need to be
comparison kills
Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana.

husks of former selves,
silt gathers in their hollow;
roots seek out our hands.

Pointlessly yelling --
one goose runs to the edge of
the empty duck pond.

the cold heart, where is the soul?
empty and hollow

empty and hollow;
only fresh breaths of winter
ruminate down here.

As a former (and rather excellent) liar herself, Aru knew that, sometimes, speaking the truth felt like wrenching a thorn out of your side. But doing the opposite meant pretending it wasn't there. And that made every single step ache. It was no way to live.
