PASS ME NOTHe:“Weary my soul has been.Only on you can I lean.Whilst others thou art calling,Pass me not by.Cadavers litter in my environs,Awaiting vultures hovering.Whilst others thou art calling,Pass me not by.Crevice, crevasse and crestsI have sought for thee.Whilst others thou art calling,Pass me not by.”.She:“Right down to the deepest pit,Right through the slightest slitWhere your soul and mind might slide,I shall always stand by your side.My silent voice always fills the void.No word of mine can you then avoid.Others will call, smile or harass,But no word of yours shall I pass.”In collaboration with B. Poirson
