<description><![CDATA[I string my words like beads on fishing line,<br />
a cheap necklace to comfort the afflicted.<br />
<br />
These words are plastick.<br />
These words are unoriginal.<br />
These words offer nothing<br />
but a shoulder to cry on.<br />
<br />
Please, cry. I will wipe your tears with my hair.]]></description>

 <title>The Answer</title>
 <link>http://jaylanun.com/blog/index.php?itemid=105</link>
<description><![CDATA[Once I was Moses,<br />
I split layers of my flesh<br />
and the red sea poured forth.<br />
<br />
Once I was Noah,<br />
I led young animals to my heart<br />
and the salt floodwaters rained down.<br />
<br />
Once, I was Sampson,<br />
I cut hair from my head,<br />
and my strength was abashed.<br />
<br />
Now, I am nothing.<br />
In the essence of nothingness,<br />
I bring everything.<br />
I am the answer to the Lord's prayer,<br />
and my testimony will shed light upon the world.<br />
<br />
Once God spoke to me,<br />
he told me<br />
-It's not how far you've come, my son,<br />
but how far you're willing to go.<br />
I love you, and I know you love Me.<br />
Tell the world.<br />
<br />
Amen.]]></description>

the mind of a child makes turtles out of passing clouds<br />
the mind of a child changes as needed to see the world around it more clearly<br />
<br />
Lord God give me the mind of a man but the faith of a child]]></description>

<description><![CDATA["I feel very poetry",<br />
he said. grinning inwardly.<br />
she laughed but it was no joke.<br />
"I feel very poetry."<br />
<br />
a reiteration HA<br />
no rhyme scheme, no darkness HA<br />
inert insanity HA<br />
punctuate THIS language HA<br />
<br />
THE END. but five still remain]]></description>

bongos: hardly distinguished,<br />
one body of two cores, <br />

Electrical currents tear her apart.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Soft, sweet lips. Poised, not parted.<br />
Skin blushes lightly, then it happened.<br />
<br />
The interminable rift,<br />
the end of a friendship,<br />
the abyss is opened between people who should not have been.<br />
<br />
I'm sorry I made you fall so far,<br />
but you should have called for help.]]></description>
