| 作曲 : Books | |
| at last it started in the middle | |
| beginning as it all begins, | |
| it forsook the source of things. | |
| and that which flowed over | |
| that which stayed, | |
| and made the choice to form a standing wave. | |
| it leaned out against the in, | |
| unfolding in a place call its own | |
| and it gently draped six senses over | |
| this house of cards that it built, | |
| and opened ground the roots of touch | |
| and let them in. | |
| incredible sensations | |
| it was the insatiable feeling | |
| of a feeling of insatiable desire. | |
| and all that it could do was hold tight | |
| to that that it was not. | |
| it told itself it needed names | |
| and in so doing it became. | |
| this is the birth | |
| that everyone is always talking about. | |
| the one assumed but not remembered. | |
| but death does not forget. | |
| the end will remind it to cure it of itself. |
