+title: When I fall, I will remain whole
+---
+
+<div 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.
