Life she led in search,
Of an unknown secrect,
One for which Valencia had travelled,
Across the seas and endless days.

Till it ended- And there she lay,
Silent, dead and on the other side of the void,
Afterlife opened her arms, revealing her secrets.

Appellate Jurisdiction

by Marianne Moore

Fragments of sin are a part of me.
New brooms shall sweep clean the heart of me.

and eternity will begin with my final breath.
This mortal body is composed of flesh and bone
but my soul is eternal and exists on its own.

These years of mine are but a wisp of smoke
and will come to an end at midnight's final stroke.
How many breaths will I breath within my lifetime?
How many heartbeats are there in this heart of mine?
