And said 'I love you this much'"

and this curve shall be straight, again
if your enemy thirsts, give him drink, says the preacher
"there is a boy running
down a dusty road
in his tiny arms,
a dying dream yawns"

"out where the river is flowing
you drown like steel in the lake"

the sun & the moon closed their eyes:
was that you shutting out the faint light of hope
that illuminate the dark corners of your hurting heart?
