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
