a pain in head, separated from body
the house is empty, cold at noon
why has the light gone out, I don't remember when
limits reaching towards each other
...the one who creates, out of whom is created, and who is in creation?
the last hour is also in our bed
and the youngest child passed over coffin
among the purple primrose waiting to be born
to be born is to wait, but to die is to join
...and the one who waits on death, lives past the hour.
SHUT UP shut up (get out of my face)
in a dream he suffered of age and waste
an image put him out of his misery
but what we're looking for is mercy
...maawa ka, maawa ka sa amin
