SUNDAY PRAYER, xxxv
Time & time again,
it's said all things began with sadness.
Keeping up the hanging gardens,
all but softest eyes would harden.
They come into the wide world crying.
Like the earth, we swallow sky
to be at peace inside this fight.
Put down the book and finally write. I am, I am.
Time & time again,
Megan is tapping on her tooth.
When she gets too nervous to speak,
she makes her hands a letter T.
She asks if I've been overseas,
out and over the horizon.
And though I have been, I can't say.
Here or there, we're all the same. 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.
