SUNDAY PRAYER, ccxi
time & time again
in a dream i can't control
a persistent, distant car alarm
a right hand man with a long left arm
draws a stick figure in blood
on a matchbook in a strip club
full of priests and petty thieves
and foreign diplomats, a picture of me
& the devil holding hands
as the fireworks at disney land
pour out of a cuckoo clock
carved into the starving rocks
the faceless friends & family
i am right where i am meant to be
in a dream i can't control
riding my herky-jerky soul
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
