«Por meio da morte ou da doença, da pobreza ou da voz do dever, cada um de nós é forçado a aprender que o mundo não foi feito para nós e que, não importa quão belas as coisas que almejamos, o destino pode, não obstante, proibi-las.» Bertrand Russell

The food for the cat
Have you heard about the boy who walked by
The black water? I won't say much more.
Let's wait a few years. It wanted to be entered.
Sometimes a man walks by a pond, and a hand
Reaches out and pulls him in.
There was no
Intention, exactly.
The pond was lonely, or needed
Calcium, bones would do. What happened then?
It was a little like the night wind, which is soft,
And moves slowly, sighing like an old woman
In her kitchen late at night, moving pans
About, lighting a fire, making some food for the cat.
Robert Bly
