To slow down,
to halt,
to cease,
to Sabbath.

I talk of you as a dream,
only to encounter your nightmare.
In you I find all I have been running from.
The frantic move of the herd,
still unaware of our predator.

But when we cease,
we are caught.

What do the eyes of my beast look like?

For it is in the wrestling
that Jacob received
his new name,
and his limp.
