Compendium (return)


Here, you will find – exclusively – my humble compendium of letters. These are the correspondence I have maintained with my family. I submit them to your review for reasons I do not understand.

Forgive such musings as here follow. They are merely awkward attempts to understand a reality which eludes language. And, now they are yours.

Keelie,

Well, I have nothing
I have no one
I've been so quickly set free
and I love nothing
I love no one
Are words that you whisper in my mind, to someone
I don't know
to someone I don't know
to someone

So walk with me
on this new spring morning
I'll walk you 'till your fears are none
I'm a new baby weeping
I'm the flower you're keeping
that without love will wilt and die

I need your life in my life
need your life in my life
need your life

so come back to me
my darling
come back to me
my darling

I'd do anything to be at your side
I'd be anyone to be at your side
I need your life in my life
need your light in my life
need your light
- Noah and the Whale
"I Have Nothing"
