title: When I fall, I will remain whole
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
<pre class="verse">
|
||||
I keep hoping that, one day,
|
||||
I'll spring palladial from the bole of a tree.
|
||||
Fully formed, sexless,
|
||||
Conceived without desire or intent.
|
||||
|
||||
My body will be virginal and clean,
|
||||
My mind fresh, my soul at ease.
|
||||
The tree, behind me, will stand crooked,
|
||||
Bole seeping until time and air dry sap.
|
||||
|
||||
I will be a flat expanse of green, made up of new cells.
|
||||
Everything will work together, a smoothly running machine.
|
||||
|
||||
I keep hoping to, one day,
|
||||
Function with unity, unflagging.
|
||||
Organized and purposeful,
|
||||
Intent only on fulfillment.
|
||||
|
||||
My vision will be clear and unclouded,
|
||||
My will affirming, strong, and sure.
|
||||
And when I fall, I will remain whole,
|
||||
Confident that I lived well and unapologetic.
