Why is Death always scowling?
Does he hate the life he takes,
or the death he gives?

Love turns tragic in Persia,
in Venice,
in China,
in graveyards,
in movies,
in poems.

Love gets deadly
in candles tall as men.

Only after we fail
to bring it back
from where it's gone,
do we ever think
to join it
where it's at.
"There are herbs that draw mysterious powers
from the magical light of the full moon,
David's harp and Solomon's seal,
boxthorn and centaury.
No one knew this better than the old apothecary."
