A quilled notion signed

Resquiescat in pace

A man can tear away from his life but his contract is sealed

Stamped in red blood wax spilling an imprint upon papers artlessly flung as histories pass

yet are congealed

in our minds the past is at war with itself

in disarray as a house divided can only fall

like falling waters

in a vortex

He opens the missive and finds it empty

Only its envelope is stamped with the truth of its origin and plumbs all reason
