March 2021
Looming overhead
Nebulous striations in gradients of murky pond waters
Suffocating the world still
Stiff yet for the single bee that buzzed past his ear
Seeking refuge from the coming storm
This is the story of a young man,
Chosen by God himself,
caught between his intention and misconception
Pulled off of the very Earth where his feet lay firmly planted
The sky that swallowed the archangel Gabriel
