Even if there was no way to escape being haunted by this impurity, I didn’t want to let you go, so I kept gripping onto your hand.
Until the day eventually comes where we can choose that unavoidable separation, this light from tens of thousands of years in the past will continue to guide my path. I’ll grieve you, with the lamp lighting my descent to the underworld.
