I'd rather recollect a Setting
Than own a rising Sun
Though one is beautiful forgetting
And real • bland
true the newer • [the new]est
the other one.
Because in going is a Drama
Staying cannot confer -
To die divinely once a twilight -
Than wane is easier -
An antiquated Grace
Becomes that magic
cherished
Face
better than
As well as prime
Enjoining us to part
We and our pouting Heart
We and our gaudy Heart • scheming [Heart
plotting Heart
Good friends with time
