Oh thou, partaker of peace
with whom I swim in wondrous myriads of blessings-
we pass them,
like handfuls of smooth hard rice
beneath a mist of translucent courage
oh that I could stay
betwixt this hollow of hope
forever waxing and waning
with every tender breath you steal
but go now.
with my hands at your back-
I will slap you if you stay
for I will be within your feather heavy heart
like a twist inside a pocket watch
we count time together.
so go.

Oh thou, partaker of peace
with whom I swim in wondrous myriads of blessings-
we pass them,
like handfuls of smooth hard rice
beneath a mist of translucent courage
oh that I could stay
betwixt this hollow of hope
forever waxing and waning
with every tender breath you steal
but go now.
with my hands at your back-
I will slap you if you stay
for I will be within your feather heavy heart
like a twist inside a pocket watch
we count time together.
so go.
