Things
fade; time grows. Mechanics obey and alternatives – other
possibilities – are
excluded. All that is passed or lost is dreamed of. All that did or
didn't happen, or can never happen now. The loss of a house, the loss
of a person, though both in their own way still living. Perhaps still
standing but disguised; perhaps solely existing in the mind, as was.
One house, one person to which the waking and sleeping mind return,
no link between them.
