I am out of step with life,

harmony is missing

A bell rings, I hear thunder

A child smiles, I see bad teeth

I step inside a church, the sun

through stained glass burns my skin

I cannot kneel to pray, I have forgotten how

When I try, the words cut like razor blades

through my mind, blood clouds my eyes

How am I supposed to find

something that cannot be seen

Food rots in my hand before I can eat

I thirst, water boils at my touch

I have walked the land unseen

Like the spirit I seek for too long

Looking for the promise given, yet unfulfilled

To change my role as the Angel of Death…
