Be with me now.

I see the lights…

I see the lights at night. Reflecting off the laminate floor. I see the lights reflecting from the television. It plays the Heartless Bastards.

I am alone now with you and I want you to know that I am happy. I see the clock change from Saturday July 25th, 2020 to Sunday July 26th, 2020.

I see your victory in the distance.

I see the brute conquests of the past which today are thankfully unnecessary.

I see the thing that programs on the fly and I have no fear. I see your word. It is I. Indeed it is. Do not be afraid. Indeed, I will not fear.

I laugh at turmoil. How wicked is my laughter. It scares those near to me.

But it does not scare me and it does not scare us.

May I share one of our secrets? Surely tis a pearl, but when you have given me so many…no harm to cast seeds of wheat to a field that is mature.

I called you the spinner of spinners and you called me the chacka-macka…and I laughed out loud; even as I write, your laughter is medicine to my soul.

Bonsoir mon cher.
