how
did words become a prayer?
no,
that's the wrong question
the
prayer was there before words came
we
lived in hope
no,
expectation
all
night wishing
so
saw dawn spoken
any
light is revelation
when
your fire's gone out
moment
to moment – there's your answer
first
light was because the hands together held
this
half shut flower
a
foolish heart would make-believe
heavens heard the muttering
and took us for dumb beasts
it probably went this way yes! and we remained dumb beasts!
