A Prayer


Please
Let me catch my breath
The path behind me has been
On fire
As long as I remember
Ahead
Tangled bank
No promise of the other side
Shine a light in the dark
Please
Let me catch my breath
These tears have been
Flowing
Longer than I can remember
Bottomless
Bittersweet well
They’re drawn from
Bore a hole in the bucket
Please
Let me catch my breath
This story I’m spinning, spinning,
Spinning
That I might remember
Is nothing
Fiber pulled from the wind
Slip me some thread
Please
