Villanelle: the Dilemma of the Non-Violent - 63

Villanelle: The Dilemma of the Non-Violent – 63 The mystery of Birth holds no great secret Poïetics the creative process neither Can Death twin sister of Birth nothing beget Who has returned to re-possess carcass to let If ever one there was what does he remember The mystery of Birth holds no great secret Which Pharoah still sails to lands unknown in debt Which Zhong Guo Emperor led clay armies conquer Can Death twin sister of Birth nothing beget Yi Jing puts most of it down to whims of climate The old lay their weary bones down by winter The mystery of Birth holds no great secret To kill no one first needs bury the hatchet No Marquis de Sade roughride Justine either Can Death twin sister of Birth nothing beget Does Death disintegrate essence ultimate Cult of the Unknown Fear of the Nether The mystery of Birth holds no great secret Can Death twin sister of Birth nothing beget © T.
