1.
i don’t know if i have it in me. there are too
many wounds. i want revenge too often. justice too rarely. i can’t wait any
longer.
2.
i only have these words to bridge the gulf. i want
you beside me. who you have wronged. stay here. or wait until my return. either
way.
3.
i’m tired of you being alone. it is such a
burden. is there another way of being a family. can we discover it together. there
are promises.
4.
we have all been forsaken. i am tired of all the
waiting. what is the use of hope. you left me here and i still reach for you.
your voice. your absence.
5.
i am full of hunger and need. full of thirst and
desire. everything i want is wrapped around pain. is that what was promised. find
another way.
6.
nothing is ever finished. sometimes things are completed.
i waited here beneath the tree and there was only darkness and rain. and silence.
7.
we will meet again. one day or another. it does
not matter which. perhaps by a tomb or under the stars. with the sound of
trumpets. perhaps, perhaps.
