The night was tranquil and held no fear.

The Triangular PrimsThe pyramids are the triangular prims of the Egyptian desert,
monumental in height, and unsurpassable in endurance...

Always warmed with coffee in her bed
that he chilled from his own...

of that fragment of soul irrevocably attached to her;

her swift and final betrayal.

of life's timeless worries and delights;

Mundus NovusDevoid of old qualms and ruing sigh
Wing your arc for purer stratum high,

As mighty Retribution's brooms sweep
Away avarices that now huddled weep,
Your best plume...
