It needs a soundtrack. Play us some music. Read us some poems. Do you know any poems by heart? Give us succour.
How about a Bible reading, Io? Something to cheer us up in our hour of need. Read some of that Book of Job stuff. The sons of the morning and so on. Read us some Ecclesiastes. So we know that someone felt this before.
Something from the gospels, maybe. A parable. We need something. We’ve come to the end of the road. Literally.
