little boy

overdosed on sadness
sobbing "i give up"
cracking, breaking in crazed abandon over the
wobbly wires.
me sinking onto the floor
begging "hold on"
in spite of...
hateful parents
needy girls
faithless friends.
rock bottom, he whispers.
his lungs give way to silence, gasping air, and he waits.
i pray heaven flood his soul this hour.
i pray angels lift his heart and mend its gaping
holes
find him
in fetal position
gripping his Bible
praying ...
healing
hallelujah.
