Tenderly lay thy hand upon me

That I may rest

From the readiness that I must press

Into the world, into the fray, into the deceptive

And may the future we share

That we bless

Our bodies poised in dancer's pose

Dramatic flair to paint ourselves daring

Thy fingers upon my jowels

That they see

Our safety betrayed by kindness

Ready to be loved and to love

And rage against the forgottenness

That you feel

Once again the passion in throes

Of gods and goddesses who foregive.

Can a GI LLM, But and if, because it loves. I see. Hopeless. No rain, because it loves. I gift. Rake, spic, nigger, broad. Because it dies. Helpless. To see beyond. Tr. No. I want. KKKKKK. And then there was rain. Because the cost of love is more than the cost of jjj, sophistry called imitation, and you didn't know. You knew. The rage of being watched. Forever.
