where there is no backbiting
no poisoned arrow word
where there is no manipulation of manipulators
to prove that suffering is actually not suffering
that wounding is not wounding
that slander is not slander
that cold is not cold
that leading people to the edge
and pushing them over the edge
is not murder
there is where o Lord God I want to live
amid the flowers and the warm breezes.
under the lemon stars.
