Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine.
Grant them rest eternal, Lord our God, we
pray to Thee.
— From Missa pro defunctis
Each night I listened for your call,
when your call stopped
I held my breath, suspended,
I'd grow accustomed to a dialogue with
silence,
then wait for the sounds of night
you, dying,
and I but witness to the end.
— From The Sound of the Birds |
