you fill up an ice tray
that reminds me of the

I am not a praying man.
A thoughtful life should be the prayer.
Transgressor: I have sinned, and grown
with the world around me;

She will cut glass tonight.
She will wait until the dogs are walked and fed
and I settle in to cringe, thank god,
at the president's last

raised high,
a Sunday crescendo,

bright pathways which tore my heart
lie overgrown and brambled,
might have beens entombed
in shoots of my planting,
and mists of unknowing,
soft settling mantles
upon this wildwood floor,

I rose to the sounds of fish weeping
Wind in the palms echoed lament
Shadows covered over the glint of the moon
dancing silver on their tears and their scales

on minotaur horns,
deserts of the mind,
convoluted coils
in liberty's labyrinth?
Who will they . . .
