SUNDAY PRAYER, clxxiii


time & time again

he had a photo, so you signed it. he 

was absent-mindedly 

winding dice from hand to hand

nervous fan, the nervous fan

in all of us, the nervous fan

he is the shephard to your 

sacrificial lamb, nervous fan, 

nervous fan


time & time again

in all the infinite instances 

from infancy to now

how does a human being come to be

it is not exactly like rolling

a cigarette. place your bets

but someone else will jog the dice

will live what you in mourning call

"the life"


but you're a birthday,

deep with the dayshine

from dusk to moonbreak,

the dust of keepsakes


time & time again, i am i am
