---

On this day, I fall.

Let my arms break

under the weight.

A babbling brook denied

becomes a deluge.

I fear my failures

will wash the earth clean

of all I've built.

The waters come

as I sleep,

safe in my bed,

safe in my room

safe in my home,

safe in my dreams

trapped in a valley.

I fear my failures

will wash the earth clean

of all I've built.
