EITHER SIDE OF THE SYMBOL eve of caught between fear and refuge eve of all of the dirty work that needs being done enclosed enfolded in service for justice this room no floor is greater is lesser is higher is lower we live to serve peace than here right now and now so worthy and full and gracious my power and wisdom my love my blood on either side of the symbol the symbol is yours to keep the body is mine embody my love and know my peace we live to serve peace the wound of contrition the wound of compassion the wound of an earnest longing i made it i love it i care for it

Janela 04:42
JANELA more than it needs and continues to plummet as i cruise over Leeds and down into Dublin I'm reminded to wear the necklace you bought me which hastens to bear the inscription you penned: "a best friend isn't worth more than a friend" it carves my engagement into a ring shape and glazes my throat in a salty elitism and imposes a tone that i have no relief from and it hurts and it hurts a chance to wash the windshield a chance to call it a day an opportunity to say, if you'd been wanting to: "i love you" but what it took to be your favourite to become your special lady transformation within me to accept the changes you demand all the time misspent independent of your love I reset to your will step to the window left right

(WITHOUT SO MUCH AS A) THANK YOU blemished and bitten on both sides the coin so ravishing to behold not unlike my eleven thirty-four roadside fox who without so much as a thank you is gangsta for more than just exercise more than a slave to hunger she's psycho with longing for what is called one thing but i stick to the motion of another the good ol' days the chase of tail and i i won't let her forget (be patient in T H O M A S) no i won't let her forget (be patient in T H O M A S) she's a mommy now and with mommy comes light baby's baby's promise baby's helicopter's promise new sand is so enough to make do on
