Hecuba or Hecate?*
Life is a human sacrifice
We enter and leave beyond our will
By the banks of belief and desire.
Pass all belief onward.
The law of customs crumbles.
Air comes out well but withers.
Will you join it?
You may not have a choice.
The distributors of chaos wiggle.
Be confident, rest.
Your god sends a wind of fairness
But it is cloaked in clouds.
Indecision, decision, revision.
The music of death is not recorded yet.
Homeward bound until all ties are severed.
Moral actions turn right into wrong.
Circumstances alter.
The wheels of fortune turn.
A place without men is barren.
Washed up from the sea,
The sun opens its arms to all.
What little li!
ght we
choose
To use serves us well.
The soft scurry of past actions grows louder.
See and overhear us.
We are you.
Time slows when the mouth opens.
