-----

i am as barren
as the land is cold
    (i, the flower
            that withers within the morning hour)
there is no more morning
and slow dark water floods us
and
we
drown

the bridges are washed away

we are too tired to swim

they said you came
to give us a bridge
to give us a light

you
are
a
light

a bridge
they all hold you up
and you take them
      to where
            the hope lives.

they feed from you
drink your hope

you speak in a foreign tongue
of pureness and nobility

and i hold your hand
so that i too
may be carried
            to hope.
