Watch over us, Lord.
Watch us leap the highest fence.
Watch us walk from place to place.
Watch me.
Let our fight and its energies burst like a bloom
Before Your eyes.
Please may You favor me.
Let our efforts form a web to rest Your gaze.
Watch us as we come together
Through appointed elders speaking for us.
Watch me as I sit in peace
Spinning my secrets into space.
Watch out for us as we form a shell
To meet Your unity.
Beware the solitary onion
Boiling as it bleeds,
The bulbs moaning underneath the paper-thin sheath.
See only me
As we rise with all our hopes to meet You.
