SUNDAY PRAYER, clxxi
(performed by Natalie Jeanne)
time & time again
i was the fire breather's friend
because he said no empty thanks
for our abysses of blank kisses
i was the fire breather's friend
because between the floorboards
of guitar chords & corridors of rhyme
we were running out of time
time & time again
i was the fire breather's friend
because in the narrow moments
when sorrow crashed around me
it was him who came and found me
i was the fire breather's friend
because one way or another
everyone's your brother
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
