SUNDAY PRAYER, clxxxi
time & time again
there is a chance i am the rain
to your roses past the shadows
of my doubt and past the pacing house
of thoughts that trace my heart
its padded walls and epic calls
there's something at a glance
at first i may not see, a chance
from here out toward eternity
my hands may dance like walking trees
on blue and green piano keys
the diamond to your gleaming
in my coat of many colors
you think that everyone's your brother
but they drag you by your bridal train
to the water to the pier of the insane
you are a birthday,
deep with the dayshine
from dusk to moonbreak,
the dust of keepsakes
time & time again, i am i am
