All Hallows

All is hallowed.
Exult in life;
meditate on death,
Think of sunlight reflected by the moon.

All is hollowed.
Every fortress is also a prison.
Life begins with breathing in,
Life ends with breathing out.

All is hallowed.
Take nourishment.
Bite. Tear. Swallow.
Violence is inherent to sustenance.

All is hollowed.
Destroy leaf and flesh.
Leaf made leaf and flesh made flesh.
Energy made matter made energy.

All is hallowed.
Hail to the broken!
Hail to the unwelcome!
Hail to the cold!
