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
