One should not interfere with fate
Ka like a wind
Karma? Fate? Destiny?
A hidden rose,
A shadowed Tower.
The brilliance of all suns,
The darkness of all void.
Time is a face on the water
A face, of your father,
and thy fathers, before thy father
Before Oedipus could write his epic
Oedipus, he who has forgotten
the face of his father
Before Narcissus falls
trying to caress the rose
in the water
beneath the face
of time, and his father

-- thoughts on "The Dark Tower" and Sec One Literature paper
