    “آدم‌ها می‌آیند
    زندگی می‌کنند
    می‌میرند
    و می‌روند
    اما
    فاجعه‌ی زندگی تو
    آن هنگام آغاز می‌شود
    که آدمی می‌ميرد
    اما
    نمی‌رود
    می‌ماند
    و نبودنش در بودن تو
    چنان ته ‌نشین می‌شود
    که تو می‌میری در حالی که زنده­‌ای
    و او زنده می‌شود در حالی که مرده است

    از مزار که بازگشتی
    قبرستان را به خانه نیاور”
