Let me rest in the Capulet tomb
For I am pulled apart
My bones are broken and made to heal in fractured splendor
Bound and marred
Our broken and tangled hearts bleed together
Searching for water
Searching
With papyrus on the desert road we find love and grace
My beloved brother
Recline with me once more on Tiberius’ beach

Getting Serious About Comedy (Part I)
If I were asked to remark on my life and the childhood that paved some road leading me to this point, I would have to say something about all the funny people who surrounded me for the last 26,872 days (and counting). Somewhere along that road, I became a big fan of laughter and the comedy that spawns it – and, I mean not only my own laughter, but the laughter of others, some of which I have actually been responsible for inducing.

I agree with Komal, this is great with the historical touch to bring out it's depth.
Whoa, this feels ancient and modern at once! Some heartbreaks feel historic, like they’ve lived a thousand lives before they ever reached us. ✨
