SUNDAY PRAYER, clvi


time & time again

we lay inbetween the tracks

over cords of pine and stones

like ancient eggs, overgrown bones

infinite unliftable ladder

your stones begin to chatter

as if applauding for the gravy train

as it approaches. don't be afraid

just cuz i am, i am.


time & time again

as the train is washing over me

like a river when a dam breaks

have i ever been awake 

before now? before this iron current

washed away the breath 

of those who whisper in the sidelines 

is he still alive? 

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
