At times, you do say things without thinking 
I’m the god of distress – 
You’re leaving me breathless 
Cutting me down like I’m some decaying tree

Death...death...like a cold, distant fog
it looms over these beings
these frail human beings, myself included
attacking their defenseless, quarrelsome - filled minds

I saw on the TV yesterday
that you took home the bronze,
a woman who barely qualified,
whose odds were rather long.
You had the skate of your life,
with lutzes and salchows,
congratulations are in order,
this is your moment now.

A house, with me in which it would delight him to dwell
A grand mansion over which He spared no expense

Consumed with loving concern...

When the sky is dark, anyway
It is more efficient that way
And the water would feed more...

I’d kissed at least one boy by age fourteen.
Disappointment was the taste it left.
Although it was short, it was far from sweet.

Its honey lingered in my mouth all night.

I want to be forgiven,
Not forgotten
I want to be independent,
Not dependent

When I was just a little boy,
Attending Sunday school,
