there I was. young and inexperienced in the world. not much more yet than a mass waiting to take shape. clouds of innocence and naivety swirling along the droning murmurs of atoms forming and falling apart

then, a flash  

it could've taken eons  

it could've been an instant  

all that registered was the bell, twice tolled

twisted was the yearning  

turning, night come dusk come day come dawn  

treacherous was the pearl that gleamed  

and glittered as bronze shimmer made its yawn,  

its shivers, its tears into harmonies bold;  

hark, then: cosmic failure\&nbsp;\&nbsp;\&nbsp;\&nbsp;\&nbsp;\[ding\]  

hark: eternal fault\&nbsp;\&nbsp;\&nbsp;\&nbsp;\&nbsp;\&nbsp;\&nbsp;\&nbsp;\&nbsp;\&nbsp;\&nbsp;\&nbsp;\&nbsp;\&nbsp;\&nbsp;\&nbsp;\&nbsp;\&nbsp;\&nbsp;\&nbsp;\&nbsp;\[dong\]

hark, too, the forlorn thus begotten in the cold  

and contemptuous ringing of Kuro who trolled;  

forever shall shame, whenever they're polled  

the sod who forgot that one bell tolls both  

Kuro being a troll
