SUNDAY PRAYER, ccviii
time & time again
do you remember when we side by side
walked along the feathered ledge
of wave that marked the ocean edge
you carried my shoes, and i carried yours
we studied the scars on the face of the shore
& the sun bled red into water so blue
when you carried me, and i carried you
time & time again, my friend.
to the outfield of the inner child
from the shoutfield of the world outside
my boyish shame & your girlish pride
we walked along the feathered ledge
of wave that marked the ocean edge
you carried me, and i carried you.
& the sun bled red into water so blue
i am, i am.
but you are birthday,
deep with the dayshine
from dusk to moonbreak,
the dust of keepsakes
time & time again, i am i am
