Life, could you squeeze me any tighter?

Could you steal more of one’s own keep?

In honesty I’m just tired

For this marvelous, giving, horrendous, creature

Love is all I feel

Yet, seconds later evil is at work

And that love, again, expires.

A skipping stone leaps in my heart, but the surprise never fails

It neglects to sink peacefully in the lake

but gets crushed by an incoming whale

This marvelous, giving, horrendous creature.
