So bright<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So present<\/p>\n\n\n\n

a veil protecting us<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

This shield<\/p>\n\n\n\n

which could be oppressive<\/p>\n\n\n\n

humidity clinging<\/p>\n\n\n\n

to every cell<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

But this promise is dry<\/p>\n\n\n\n

clear-cut<\/p>\n\n\n\n

to the point<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

We know the expectations<\/p>\n\n\n\n

which bind us<\/p>\n\n\n\n

to one another<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Light was brought<\/p>\n\n\n\n

to the darkness<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Safety overpowered cruelty<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Here is a place<\/p>\n\n\n\n

we can rest<\/p>\n\n\n\n

without threat or pressure<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

I lay down my head<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and dream of the stars<\/p>\n\n\n\n

so close to the sun<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
