PRAYER

My God! Damsel of gold!
I know you care nothing for me
I know you don’t notice my divinity
Even though I have not abandoned you
My God! Damsel of gold!
I see you as a girl of ether
on a dandelion swing
interwoven with splendor
My God! Damsel of gold!
I am grateful for your company
as I lose myself
on the rugged ways
I also thank you
for revealing to me
that hell is empty
and populates me
My God! Damsel of gold!
You should be more wary of me.

ORACIÓN

ORACIÓN

¡Dios mío! ¡Doncellita de oro!
Sé que nada te importo
Sé que no te percatas de mi divinidad
Aún así no te he abandonado
¡Dios mío! ¡Doncellita de oro!
Te veo como una niña de éter
en columpio de diente de león
entrelazada a un esplendor
¡Dios mío! ¡Doncellita de oro!
Agradezco tu compañía
durante mi errancia
por los caminos abruptos
También te doy gracias
por revelarme
que el infierno está vacío
y me puebla
¡Dios mío! ¡Doncellita de oro!
Deberías cuidarte un poco más de mí
