Well, it's over.
It's all been done. Three times three. The room in fluted candlelight really shows its age. Fancy that, in the mirror I see wrinkles. Through the ducts, voices fade. Celebrations have passed. Once, when I was young, I took the town. The meadows on the outskirts were thick with lust. In the garden of a visual yard, I see a lack-luster statue of the Virgin Mary holding out her holy robe, beckoning to me. Through a peaceful mirage, I picture my brother, in fearful tears, who was afraid of his shadow at night playing Peter Pan out back when he was just a kid. Now, he's dead. Now, it's all been done.
