lyrics

SUNDAY PRAYER, xliv


Time & time again,
the border cops and army ants
scrambling in and out of sand.
The desert moans. The sun commands.
Noble mirage. My king. My country.
Rivers running out of money.
You can not sleep in your beliefs,
nor drink the law, dare to eat a speech, I am, I am.


Time & time again
grows on a twisted tree of knowledge,
from its amputated limbs,
my thousand pens, this thousandth hymn.
My little eyes, like two cracked glasses,
draw a ring around the masses.
With my hoover sheet of receipts,
going to get a good night's sleep I am, I am, I am.


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


Time & time again, I am, I am.




DAS - San Diego, California, USA
