Sons of God I love the distance between two points This time Jesus went the other way To far into the Sun thus gone Above the Earth have we crossed his path Is there a trinity here,. or a shake of the fist, which how many times we know we do on the natch The resolution of the daughters of the damned; every women ir the whole of the world,, thinking the same way Yet no one saw Jesus sore and loss and lost are different and though leaving can be more than a thought, it is never tough enough All the times I raised my hand, or walked away I did not think joyess against God Whether it be space, water, or dirt Traveling is a rue where you see the mountain and the sea on the other side of the dream

This 'Sons of God' page measures distance from Jesus through trinity, damnation, joy, departure, and travel, with a handwritten insertion naming space, water, or dirt.

The cleaned page reads as a restless argument about scale: cosmic distance, bodily gestures, faith, and leaving all press against one another. The handwritten insertion sharpens that movement by bringing the abstract travel image back to elemental matter.

'Sons of God' fully states what the fragments circle: 'I love the distance between two points / This time Jesus went the other way / To far into the Sun thus gone'. The speaker weighs whether crossing that path yields 'a trinity here,. or a shake of the fist', and broadens to 'The resolution of the daughters of the damned; / every women ir the whole of the world,, / thinking the same way'. It distinguishes its terms carefully - 'loss and lost are different', 'leaving can be more than a thought, / it is never tough enough' - and insists past defiance was not blasphemy: 'I did not think joyess against God'. The handwritten elemental insertion 'Whether it be space, water, or dirt' grounds the closing image of 'Traveling' as 'a rue where you see the mountain / and the sea on the other side of the dream'.
