Divine horizon came and perched upon the world it had a hand in creating.

Wrapped in prayer.

When it shook a thousand spirits rattled and clung to it tightly. When it bled a river divided the earth and among the banks grew rice and mint and among them could be heard the croaking of frogs.

When a child was permitted to gaze upon it they were told to rest. To put away labor and let sleep caress them and spend days in the sun letting its rays wash their abdomen. To drink deeply and often of cinnamon and raspberry leaf.

When it came to me I told a bitch I got money to make as the frogs began screeching before falling silent.
