Mad. Utterly mad, but trying. The thumping stills when you are near.

—He jests at scars that never felt a wound—

Running without tiring, the long night of each day becomes as recognizable as the pink tissue that folds over and refuses to stretch. The duty falls to the traveller, worn luggage sagging with use, and only getting darker.

—Arise, fair son, and kill the envious brood—

How can a black hole tire? It lives to jealously guard the light. Never dying, it grabs at the imaginary as zealously as the real. Never understanding, it fades into unreality.

—Who is already sick and pale with grief—

But it does tire, as all things do. Is the stomach an ocean? Churning until every molecule is torn. Will it not stop with enough distance?

—And none but fools do wear it; cast it off—

It does stop, as all things do. The long nights—a product of an unreasonable inertial frame—they too shorten. Tragic pasts too have tragic ends, if only one can suffer the tragedy that is to forget.

The charming Harlequin, checkered and warm, he never fails to draw eyes to the Commedia dell'arte. Meant not to act, as no man plays another's part, this romantic hero is set apart.

A mischievous devil in the hellfire of the sun. The pleasant warmth fades in the underworld of Hades. Crossing the long night, murky though still, it shimmers and forms the shapes of faces that scream. Clarity causes his ears to ring.

No rite has been said for this dead. He goes back, face black, and Hades follows close behind him. Behold, there was a certain man dressed in linen, with a belt of fine gold from Uphaz around his waist.

His body was like beryl, his face like the brilliance of lightning, his eyes like flaming torches, his arms and legs like the gleam of polished bronze, and his voice like the sound of a multitude.

The likeness of a man, if barely. What kind of man looks like this? Ours has torches of blue, and hair spun of black wool. It suits him.

But a physical appearance is always a product of the mind, and this one in particular. When alert, his appearance could be described as: <1>Timeless</1> If not for his insomnia, he might remain that way, but as the hour drags on, and drag on it must should before such a change can occur, he might also be described as: <2>Weary</2> <3>Sedated</3> <4>Petulant</4> <5>Erratic</5> And finally: <6>Insane</6>
