SUNDAY PRAYER, clxxxix
time & time again
it's been a year, a whole year
and here you are where you began,
back where you started when you said
that you were leaving here for good
but aren't you trapped inside that mind
inside that body all the time?
even as the sun sets in your mouth
things cannot go south
from the bottom of the world
from the rock bottom of this girl
she is sadder than sad, bluer than blue
she is the palest moon you ever knew
but if you love her, you will follow her
like a rock into the water
down to the bottom til you've caught her
i am i am
you are a birthday,
deep with the dayshine
from dusk to moonbreak,
the dust of keepsakes
time & time again, i am i am
