SUNDAY PRAYER, cxxvi


time & time again

gather your rosebuds while you may

the days of wine and roses came and went

and checked into hotel regret

seventy-seven white sleeping pills

seventy-seven white sleeping pills

to a permanent vacation

from thrill and love and other 

meaningless sensations.


time & time again

i wish i was still working at the mall

simpler than the sunny day

that melted every cent i made

seventy-seven white sleeping pills

black fly dying on the window sill

could you see this coming up and over the hill?

seventy-seven white sleeping pills, i am.


but you're a birthday

deep with the dayshine

from dusk to moonbreak

the dust of keepsakes


time & time again, i am i am
