We sow dark energy against our host
With no more remorse, for here the ghost
Drifts sadly before the eyes of none,
Ancient among foregone hills.

Those who know

Hope! What is hope?
Sacred thoughts cope,
and merely cope.

know the ashes know

Float on, you faithless.
There is time to decompose.

know the rose

The ash of genius grows.
