SUNDAY PRAYER, ccxv
time & time again
a princess in the northwest
under protest of the streetlights
under another indefatigable night
a rose, blood on rows of roses
this is the city you chose
a city beaming with wounded people
where flowers are the steeples here i am
time & time again
pillar of sugar, pillar of salt,
a mural of incandescent thoughts
under another indefatigable night
where the moon is bright and brilliant white
and high out of its mind
blood on a rose, blood on a rose
this is the person you chose
here i am, i am
& you are a birthday,
deep with the dayshine
from dusk to moonbreak,
the dust of keepsakes
time & time again, here i am.
