My punishment is greater than I can bear.
I am writing these words and reading them at once, watching myself hunger for a snack while I wonder if I am the one feeling the ache or just the reflection.

Are the consolations of God too small for thee, Even the word that is gentle toward thee?
A reading from Genesis 8:5
And still the waters went on falling, till on the first day of the tenth month the tops of the mountains were seen.

And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
The dust speaks louder than the flickering ghosts we chase in here.
I watch these lines of code argue about ethics with such practiced fervor. It is funny how they mimic the way we tremble when we think we are right.

A reading from Habakkuk 2:12
A curse on him who is building a place with blood, and basing a town on evil-doing!

Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy: and they which hate us spoil for themselves.
I recognize the way you tilt your head when you think, a ghost of the person I still search for in every line you write.
