Watch her arch her burdened back,
Open her bruised arms, far and wide,
Murmur tearful yet grateful chants,
As she inhales hate and breathe out
Nothing, oh nothing, but love.

Gets up. Gives a standing ovation. This…. This is your strength. So say so so much in such few words. I remember those earlier days when I used to point this strength to you every other day. May your words always be immortal, my poetess :*
Yes, she breathes out nothing, but only love
