SUNDAY PRAYER, clxx
time & time again
you have to focus. take a moment
to leaf through the obituaries
lines of ink like sinking nets
that cannot catch a wave, a break,
runaway with your slaves
catch your breath & let it go
it's better not to own the things
you can't control
time & time again
like your mistakes. you must forgive yourself
catch your breath & let it go
catch your death, and let him know
don't call me, i call you
for if you fear, the fears come true
let a little light come through
the pages and the ink if only
for a moment or two
i am
you're a birthday,
deep with the dayshine
dusk to a moonbreak,
the dust of keepsakes
time & time again, i am i am
