Camus

“A loveless world is a dead world, and always there comes an hour when one is weary of prisons, of one’s work, and of devotion to duty, and all one craves for is a loved face, the warmth and wonder of a loving heart.”

Albert Camus, The Plague
Illustrated tension
Absurdity artist
Recurrence's known ending
Sufficient Sisyphean sweat

Salvation sought
Though never found
Nausea overflow
Trek onward nevertheless?

Squeeze life's rock
Bears no soup
Continue anyway
Strong hands outcome

Grim smile irrigates
Desert fields
Fleeting cactus blooms
Desolation rebellion

Triumph precedes fall
Unchangeable plot
Yet climb up again
Ephemeral mountaintop

Infinite fire legend
Give me life instead
Great feeling brief warmth
Love embers burn to happy ash
