SUNDAY PRAYER, clxxxvi
time & time again
the river is rerouted
by her by hand,
she caught it when it ran,
reburying the earth alone
and shoveling the stones
if it had healed wrong, it is cake
it is easy to rebreak
a broken bone
time & time again
she sets the clock back an hour
and puts some water on the burner
you can never really learn her,
a human being. there is no test
to pass or fail. no worst or best.
just show up, and put a show on.
you cannot go back,
so go on.
you are a birthday,
deep with the dayshine
from dusk to moonbreak,
the dust of keepsakes
time & time again, i am i am
