I think of my mother holding me tight. There was a shudder that crept through the night. Whispers and mutters, trembling and sighs. A fright…

I wish I may not with all of my might cry shame, or what you want to name it.

If I was given all of my life back to be lived in, to be made right, I'd wreck and rend it a second time, try though I might.

All this deferment, dearth and delay, until interment, earthly embrace. What is a man but a suit and a pair of shoes?

Cry shame.
