Ascension of Christ

How to grow flowers
In the apocalypse

How to be a gardener
When all is dead

How to breathe
When oxygen
Is but a memory

How to love
When all love has fled

How to be a Man
When there is only The Cross

How to believe in God
When everything has been betrayed

How to return to anything
When all, absolutely all
Has been irretrievably lost.
