SUNDAY PRAYER, cclxxviii
time & time again
love is the bow of bone against the string
in music made of living things
the disquieting of the deep sleep
of elements and energies, and inbetween
the mind and the heart the separation of power
no sleight of hand of god but this, which is ours
the rub is we don't really know
what we want until we let it go
time & time again
it is an accelerator where you're sent headlong
into new dimensions. it wants you gone
repeatedly, unerring half-despairingly
smashed. cut eyes in a mirror to make
a mask of it to wear and stare through,
so when you look at me, you don't see me.
you see you.
you are a birthday
deep with the dayshine
from dusk to moonbreak
the dust of keepsakes
time & time again, i am i am
