sweet revenge
I will be giving up hope for Lent.
In the spirit of Carnival, I am reminded of the classic short story most of us have read; "The Cask of Amontillado" by Edgar Allen Poe.
Revenge is successful only when the other party knows why it's being done and who is doing it. Karma is not enough, time to put some elbow grease into it.
I admire those that can beat me at my own game. However, Poe writes that the last criteria for successful revenge is the guarantee that there cannot be retaliation.
It is here, my friend, that you have failed.

you ask - what camels haul in their saddle-bags
they carry my heart across the desert
since you left me
I remain alone
under the yellow sun
the earth is scorched and human hearts are
hollow the source of tenderness beats not for me
sometimes I see you
but with my outstretched arms
touch only
my thought about you
you ask - what camels haul in their saddle-bags
they carry my heart across the desert
