Sunt Lacrimae Rerum Et Mentem Mortalia Tangunt

Day and night, and night and day,

his shattered soul's fragments convey

these words, in cyclone, swirled astray

upon the flat plains of his mind:

there he wanders, there confined:

come from some poem, Sunt lacrimae.

These chase him like a hunted prey,

less for the sound than what they have to say.


Starward
