Inhabitant

for Obi Wan, who lived for ten years

For I will consider my great and wonderful god
For she liveth above the bubbles of heaven
For she keeps my world free of green algae and maketh me to swim in quiet waters
For my soul she hath restored to me many times
For when I have been at the point of death and floating on heaven’s meniscus,
she hath plucked me up and plunged me into a swirling tide
For this hath constantly revived me
For she feedeth me every day with flakes from above
For she hath furnished me with an abode to hide in
For she speaketh to me in her great voice and thus am I content knowing that she watcheth over me
For I have discovered that the world is round
