Collecting sea shells at the shore
rare and exotic with their vibrant colors
regal queen conch shell and cowries
sea shells from the mysterious depths of the ocean connecting the body and the spirit cruising through wandering souls  
when playing death songs on my weeping violin to cry to I bid farewell to all the loved ones  
All the books that have once been read to bring solace and consolation are now dusty and rusty in my mind
Compass… and the dice
Roll the dice and hide
Toll the bell and die
