You, at the center, appease my fright

A kid's heart, at that
...

You claimed your duty when I asked for your

promise. A maze runner in the nameless wild,
...

Sheets, layers of shelter
Cradling babies, cuddling in sleep
Nap sack for a journey
Mantle for atoms
...

Thank you dear Jesus for today

Thank you dear God that You stay
...

Hold on to me
In the relics that align us together
The dead rise with us
Stars float in the water
...

I need you to look at me
after the mirrors cracked

Groom me how
...

...

Days of wrath, I have seen, now over me
Gone loathsome rains of weeping, after dawn

Should I fall, in praise I’d rise like kids - found
...

Losing grip of love affair, I hold thin folds of time like tongues of cookie layers on the shores of white sand and white sugar in the tub.
...

I have come to you today because my grieving has not been over.

I remember the dead, those hurt in my land, the ruins of my country.
