Brian’s collected pieces, volume by volume.
I will not waste another moment crying over those I have lost lest my pain become too precious and your pity the oxygen I breathe. It is enough for me to say I loved them, and to be believed. Brothers and sisters, humans and animals, animals and nature, what of our memory will exist after eons? Forever is the heartbreaking beauty of this earth, of this universe, as it settles into eternity where there are no hearts to break.
