{"quotes":[{"text":"The day arrived,when myriad teary rivers flow and the muted wind faintly died in his tears—an altar for the beloved one's departure,for sister-hood is no more,for her to adore!While pangs the beating world in a lamenting voice;their remembering loss of the 'one' they embrace most and when the crepuscule came like a phantom,the mournful,gathered birds swiftly flew in gloom.","author":"Nithin Purple","tags":["adore","altar","beloved","birds","crepuscular","crepuscule","death","embarrassment","embrace","faint","gathering-darkness","gloom","gloominess","gloomy","lament","life","literature","loss","love-lost","mournful","mournfulness","muted","nithin-purple","nithinpurple","pangs","patience","peace","phantom","poems","poems-on-life","poetry","poetry","remembered","sister-love","sisterhood","swift","swiftly","tears","teary","world","worldly","writers"],"id":51416,"author_id":"Nithin+Purple"},{"text":"Look forward.

I put her in a thicket of trees, where the green seems to still have a voice in the branches, and try not to think about the beasts that’ll soon be gathering. There’s no way of burying her; the ground is a solid rock of ice beneath us.I kneel beside her and want desperately to weep. My throat tightens and my head aches. Everything hurts inside. But I have no way of releasing it. I’m locked up and hard as stone.“I’m sorry, Mamma,” I whisper to the shell in front of me. I take her hand. It could belong to a glass doll. There’s no life there anymore. So I gather rocks, one by one, and set them over her, trying my best to protect her from the birds, the beasts, keep her safe as much as I can now. I pile the dark stones gently on her stomach, her arms, and over her face, until she becomes one with the mountain. I stand and study my work, feeling like the rocks are on me instead, then I leave the body for the forest and ice.","author":"Rachel A.
