“The man becomes a web
and his shadow becomes a spider.

It’s not that his life passes to the shadow—
but a tipping happens
as in an hourglass,

and there’s suddenly a new order
to the life he never knew was shared.

That night a cricket kills himself in the man.”
Max Ritvo

“The worst approach to suffering is to try to make it go away, and the worst approach to happiness is to try to make it stay.”
Max Ritvo
