SUNDAY PRAYER, ccxcviii
time & time again,
where under the canopy of the great blue
tree the sky have you hidden your gift
where in the wheel of the circle of fifths
is a note worth playing, is a word worth saying
for the hours it takes, is the price worth paying
for the perfect Christmas epitaph
something lost in the shadow that the flashes cast
i am, i am
time & time again
haven't we heard the story enough
already the carpenter's songs, the trashcan pageantry
looking up the angel's dress at the top of the tree
for the perfect Christmas epitaph
something lost in the shadow that the flashes cast
when the picture got took with a finger over the lens
when we asked, "do you forgive us," and he said, "it depends."
i am, i am
you are a birthday
deep with the dayshine
from dusk to moonbreak
the dust of keepsakes
time & time again, i am i am
