SUNDAY PRAYER, clxviii
time & time again
so white this truth a snow of tears
slow as honey is this fear
and in it years by thousands drown
you breathe its ants into your lungs
it hangs you from your humdrum thumbs
mystery guest, feaster of crumbs
easter played you like a gun
i am i am
time & time again
my sadness perched upon the sunshine
is a fool, is an impostor
in the summertime a midnight rooster
blue sky brush fire
everyone a nun for hire
mystery guest, treasure chest
all in all & all the rest
i am i am
but you're a birthday,
deep with the dayshine
dusk to a moonbreak,
the dust of keepsakes
time & time again, i am i am
