SUNDAY PRAYER, cliv


time & time again

we climb the barricade to greet them

from the spotlight of the rifle tower

cowering behind our triggers 

curving like aluminum moons

we can't get back behind the wall

too soon as far as we're concerned

the people on the other side can burn


time & time again

from the spotlight of the rifle tower

a powerful shadow is cast

where the brightest nightshades grow

by the bottle is the genie made

by cages dying breeds are saved

in the spotlight it is hard to see

the people on the other side of free


but you're a birthday

deep with the dayshine

from dusk to moonbreak

the dust of keepsakes


time & time again, i am i am
