SUNDAY PRAYER, cxxxvii


time & time again,

see the ground as you walk over it

see the mountains in your mind

the dried up lightning in the sky

where has your bliss kissed off to

where does your perfect storm await you

in spinning crowds and speeding cars

and faroff trojan cactus stars i am i am


time & time again

do you ever get the notion

that the world revolves around those

that think the world revolves around them

from the blind mice to the eagle bald

the poetic justices of oswald

who played catch with death and won

a one-way ticket to the sun i am 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
