lyrics

SUNDAY PRAYER, vii

Time & time again,
too deep my paddle cuts through ads
placed with tuxedoed master plans
to hold deserted corporate hands.
Cut to the horsemen plucking lyres.
Cut to our childhood house on fire.
And could it pay to hedge our bets
between apocalypse and debt? I am, I am.

Time & time again,
a cult of possums in the pines
will be mistaken for a sign.
We die one moment at a time,
dropped in the belly of some sling
we are the wordbird's poison sting.
Someday I'll eat each of my sons,
do in the hopefly just because, I am, I am, I am.

But you're a birthday,
deep with the dayshine.
Dusk to a moonbreak,
the dust of keepsakes.

Time & time again, I am, I am.

DAS - Denver, Colorado, USA
