This also is vanity
Applying my mind to wisdom madness and folly
there is nothing new to be gained under the sun
there is nothing new to be learned and honored
nothing that i have not already loved and lost to
the business that god has given to sons of men

Bathsheba
The cunning one
clever
mother dear maker
terrier pit-
bull by my side
believes i deserve to be king!
#
Comfort me with apples
for i am sick of chasing love
i am sick of cinnamon pow-
der caking in my lungs like dust
better to let love find me now
#
Sheba and Bathsheba
Drinking coffee
smoking cigarettes
and giggling
girl talk
in the palace
in the desert
in the morning.
