I don't hate you, how could I?
It's true that I have distanced...

It's exhausting to spend all my energy for the day...
This moment that hits me like a tidal wave...

there are frantic attempts to
fill the blank spaces...

I see it all stripped bare,
the altar where You sacrificed...

I could never leave you
Not even if death pressed upon us...

Blessed Savior,
Your father brought the world into life...

.
I can't keep this battle up...

I never wanted to face the blood before,
a pouring out of an innocent man's human heart...

In your time,
You will surely find...

I write about you, talk about
you, think about you...

Memory,
a composition of similes...

Now and then I break out in song
coloring somber grays...
