Lines for the National Day of Prayer
bless chair and picture
rice in the evening
and being ordinary
bless error and air
the company and lead
shit and hole
o state make me thankful

Compline
called by bell
I ring within
how infinitely naked is an ear
to the night
Imponderable
the settling of night into a hole
or a fly onto its supper
the same as asking a question
in a prayer
Colonist
where sin and creed play
O Lord must I
be ordinary too
on Mars
Match maker
I sing the head of a match
that ingenious red tune
it merits a good anthem
sung to the trumpet
o wing of my being
sweet evening prayer
Serv/ice
ice is at the core
of an afternoon church
I drew a sun with
as little a prayer as a top
Red-lined
a red line
cost me my home
with all the evening music
great as a prayer
Unredeemable
long sad stories
live in the country
they might hit the glass
on the wings of bird
poor creatures without
any art or prayer
Night world
a long night in the world
water playing on water
land and higher land
half canvas
half dark prayer
Player
chance is a wan meat
after cards
to cards again
lost as a kiss at prayers
Cutting back
where in the geography
of busy people’s prayers
to find ease
I shall continue saving time
that self-razor
Crusaders
business is a holy urge
no thought or weakness
our guns went all off
and from church to church
bonfires made of prayer
