: )The plot of our life sweats in the dark like a face,
the mystery of
childbirth, of childhood itself.
Grave visitations, what is it that calls to
us ?
Why must we pray screaming
?
Why must not death be redefined
?
We shut our eyes, we stretch out our arms
and whirl on a
pane of glass,
an afixiation, a fix on anything.
The line of life, the limb of a tree,
The hands of he
and the promise that she is blessed among women.

God, I fell for You ! (2x) …
