Prayer

Whose coal eyes unto thee
make three covenants of
chastity and faith and hungry
trust who must take milk or
be a homeless wreck, a
stray dog a lamb before
wolves whose mind has
gone gone gone gone whose
eyes have clouded whose
dry finger bones are a
crumbling city block a
book of lives a
book of lives whose
old shoes speak whose
cat one two three
is and is and is a
noble guardian sort of whose
crucifix is a crooked woman who
never learned to tie their laces who
hid from books who
never learned to plead his
cases who
took
who
took unto himself too much, whose
pork belly had a mouth North
America wound like an infected
dog's eye, put it out
put it out
