Sofia Wakes

Desire
Want
Lack
Hunger

Fill the basin
The basin remains empty
Fill the basin again

There's a hole in the bucket dear Liza dear Liza
There's a hole in the bucket dear Liza
a hole

The well has run dry
yes?
why do you continue to try to draw water

Draw water

Draw water

To draw,  pull,  attract,  entice,  enthrall

"There's a hole in my roof where the rain comes in"

Enthrall
Enchant
Entice
Enable
Enfold
Encircle
Encumber
Encase
Enchain
Enthrone
Ensure

Ensure the city remains empty
yet the house remains full

There is an empty room
within the temple
the holy of holies 
see? the poles of the ark
extend through the curtain
to this day.

Without the fires burn
within is darkness
yhwh likes the dark

"Darkness was cheap and Scrooge liked it."

the empty
the dry well
the barren womb
the unburning fire

There's a hole in the bucket dear Liza dear Liza
There's a hole in the bucket dear Liza
a hole

Sofia wakes from her troubled sleep and wonders

oh my son, what are you become.
