Door staircase steps kitchen glass milk bread honey orchids Mom window green yard beautiful grateful God.
Laundry basement cold socks coffee table news Somalia Kenya refugee camps shame terrible tears ashamed safe home grateful God.
Room mess run research paper due pressure music escape angry tired complete failure illiterate books remember privilege grateful God.

Home dark bed silence doubts questions tossed Self alone lonely unloved remember Jesus sacrifice grateful God.


... God.

You Know


Rise to the depths of my bliss,
Descend to the pinnacle of my grief.

You know where.

Strip me of my masks and unfounded smiles
And cover my eye that has seen the void.

You know how.

Feel my tales of wonders witnessed
And pour your music into my speechless cosmos.

You know why.
