preserve us.

saints, bastards, gods, devils, fools, corvidae, magicians, whores, liars, thieves, emperors, nuns, ghosts, heretics, blasphemers, shaman, the brave, the dead, the beloved, the wise, space, time, and bullshit: pray for us, pray for us, pray for us. make of us mask and dance, carnival, impenetrable. make of us feast for fast. give us mortar and teeth.
