Why is the sea so quiet?
\nWhen did the candles of the cities
\nwink out?
\nAnd nothing answers.
\nEverything ate everything else,
\nuntil there was nothing left.
\nEverything died satiated,
\nas if the more we ate
\nthe hungrier we became,
\nand the only things left
\nwere our empty plates
\nand clothes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
