he buckles his pants
"i would have preferred if you had
swallowed it all. but we will make sure
you learn to take what you are given."
he steps away from me and leaves me on my knees
he smiles at me
"you aren't crying this time. im glad you've finally come around.
appreciate your blessings.
you wouldn't get it anywhere else."
he opens the door. i see him dismiss a fellow monk.
and I catch the monk's eye
