A Fragile Prayer

Mystical poem written 4-4-26. With all due honors to Hideo Kojima.

I’ll take the damage,
And turn it into rich soil,
To feed the Garden,
Waiting in my heart

And the goods,
The bads,
And every,
Little in-between

I don’t break that easy,
But I live,
A shared life,
With my other self

I’m fragile,
Broken to bits,
Again and again,
And sharing it all

But I’m not that fragile,
Break me, oh gods,
Against the rocks of divinity,
And pull me in out of the rain
