SUNDAY PRAYER, clxxiv
time & time again
i sort of like being alone
it has a dignity all its own
i can glower from this tower
shower smiles upon the dark hours
that fall on all below who love
when their kiss comes to shove
i sort of like being alone
i am i am
time & time again
it brings with it its own
kind of rapture, something even
the keepers cannot capture
i sort of like being alone
and yet i wrestle with my mind
against a fish net of infinite laugh lines.
and finally, i axed the slayer
to be mine.
but you're a birthday,
deep with the dayshine
from dusk to moonbreak,
the dust of keepsakes
time & time again, i am i am
