our last walk

 Unremittingly, the heaviest thing I have ever held.  


not the heaviest thing I can lift.  

no amount of strength covers for this 


But the reality  


Una pesadilla  

  


The nightmare is, in fact, over.  

and now the anguish sets in.  

 

the is nothing to fill the holes.  


But the reality of the state of things 


And it occupies me in strange, awful ways.  


Is such that we need to live in a world of action  


And I am consumed in a warpath that makes no room for anything  


At all  


 


In these moments it weighs on me, like all that I have ever lost  


Generals that served before the flag; 


That I cannot repay 


 


As the suffering of an emperor is painfully unique  


But it’s not about me, as justice is achieved through honor 


And I aim, with all of this, to bring honor; the small spaces these beings bring  


That stay with us forever
