What you do not have
you cannot lose;
what you possess,
you will lose over and over.
 
The ruin of a landmark
is a landmark,
its new name blooms
from the mode of its destruction.
 
Mother, you have been taken from me,
and oh! the taste of my loss
is sweeter than any milk
you ever spared.
 
The name of the stone
is Heart's Desire
but it is a stone
and it is a stone.
