“It is life and death, Life like you are left With a phantom limb: To lose your wife Or your best friend - With the right leg gone - Attempting to feel, A tempting to mend - Or an arm stretched strong - Our tendencies to steal, Thence heal the way it ends; Prolonging as we reach back again, But then again, So far? See, to reject what is real, My love, has been Our greatest sin” — Criss Jami
It is life and death,
Life like you are left
With a phantom limb:
To lose your wife
Or your best friend
- With the right leg gone -
Attempting to feel,
A tempting to mend
- Or an arm stretched strong -
Our tendencies to steal,
Thence heal the way it ends;
Prolonging as we reach back again,
But then again,
So far? See, to reject what is real,
My love, has been
Our greatest sin
