| 18 | I am a great pillar of [white smoke][]. \ | ||
| 19 | I am Lot's nameless wife encased in salt. \ | ||
| 20 | I am the wound on Christ's back as he moans \ | ||
| 21 | with the pounding of a hammer on his wrist. \ | ||
| 22 | I am the nail that holds my house together. \ | ||
| 23 | It is a strong house, built on a good foundation. \ | ||
| 24 | In the winter, it is warm and crawling things \ | ||
| 25 | cannot get in. This house will never burn down. \ | ||
| 26 | It is the house that I built, with my body \ | ||
| 27 | and with my strength. I am the only one who lives \ | ||
| 28 | here. I am both father and mother to a race \ | ||
| 29 | of [dust motes that worship me as a god][]. I have \ | ||
| 30 | monuments built daily in my honor in dark \ | ||
| 31 | corners around the house. I destroy all of them \ | ||
| 32 | before I go to bed, but in the morning \ | ||
| 33 | there are still more. I don't think I know \ | ||
| 34 | where all of them are. I [don't think][not think] I can get \ | ||
| 35 | to all of them anymore. There are too many. | ||
