Exile and the Kingdom, Integrated

I maximize my passion, embracing each rain cloud as if it is a many faceted symphony, as if the moment of release reveals all. 

Janice cheated on her husband. She gave her body to the night sky.

I am also an adulterous. I let the petrichor fill me up until I have no room for endings. 

I read Camus on stormy days. Exiled from The Kingdom, Existentialism flowers into something finite. Janice sways to incomprehensible Arabic. Daru fails to nationalize the snowy desert. Judas finds a dot inside a star and a star inside a dot.

Alive, we fill our wounds with salt.
