yet on my shoulder watching me is an angel unbothered by this weeping ; all holy is passive fragmented life saving
glory to all doors that open not the heaven's but anywhere that lets you hide
even this deep gray sea recites back His love only if you would listen
all holy is uninspiring questionable sheltering
glory to our mothers and their mothers and their mothers caressing our scarred skins with labored hands anywhere from the tip of our -tongues to the napes of our necks we are safe here even though we're on our knees
all poems are written only to say one thing: the continuous mind is lonely still and the sky's already broken
all holy is gut wrenching desperate despicable
