SUNDAY PRAYER, cciii
time & time again
god makes a promise, it is up to us
to keep it. when i reached in
the wishing well was cold as hell
is the porcelain when you lean back
at the start of a romantic bath alone
just you. and a phone.
and a dial tone
in the outfield of the inner child
family pictures fake a smile
my folks & jesus in the dugout
if you don't like it, get the fuck out
& so i dance. frantically
to a symphony of memories
each one vaguer than the last
but to get back to the present
i gotta cut through the past
but you're a birthday,
deep with the dayshine
from dusk to moonbreak,
the dust of keepsakes
time & time again, i am i am
