SUNDAY PRAYER, cxliii


time & time again, the den, 

filled to the gills with books

the grey's anatomy my dad blankly 

leafs through when he's mad at me

and the sunroom where my mother sits

and knits, patient as the pits of peaches

reaches for the phone that rings

the simple song it only sings

i am, i am


time & time again

i call her only when i'm lonely

as a fox. when the little box

my life is in is spinning in the wind

she listens like a peach

and when i'm through, she teaches me

when the doors of the world seem shut to you

my little star, no matter what,

you are, you are


you are a birthday

deep with the dayshine

from dusk to moonbreak

the dust of keepsakes


time & time again, i am i am
