On the eve of the parting

.

This is the time,
that I should leave you.

Since this time,
how long should I grieve?

Time and space
in my case has no base.

I have no faith
that time will redress,

Nor do I have hope
that space will erase.

I curse the time
that has left me barren.

I curse the space
that has left me a moron.

This is the time
that I should cease to live.
