SUNDAY PRAYER, clxxxii


time & time again

i'll send a postcard to remind her

of a promise that i made

i'll send one every single day

and the mail guy with the mustache

'll pick it up and put it in his pack

and take where they do their sorting

and then out to the truck 

in the morningtime & time again

and then into the belly of a plane

through the crowds of clouds up high

fly sentimental postcard fly

to her city, and to her house

into her hands and read aloud

you will make this journey one by one

once for every rising sun 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
