fabric of the gods.

although i find my skin breaking

and voice cracking

my body too big

and my eyes too dry

i pray for the worth that transcends me and my failures and frivolities

resulting in a worth that lasts much longer than a tear drop separating into pieces as it hits the unforgiving floor

or a letter

or even unceasing applause

rather a lifetime of virtue, wisdom, and knowledge

or whatever the ancients were getting at

for us humans who are so wise

we certainly are foolish

angles of skin pulled against fabric of the gods

clothe me with something else

i will not ask for anything but

help
