If joints
swell and limbs
wither, if you've been
rejected before
the cup arrived,
if a left
is made, if bedlam
comes from
Bethlehem—
buildings will weep for lost siblings.
kohl-circled eyes will stare above dusty cheeks.
the river water will resemble river water
but only under a certain sun.
a softened body will learn to tell time.
[from Blazevox]
