Tuesday Poem

Prayer

I invite you back
…………….. dear wildness        dear

…………………………………….. unfathomable formless
…………………….. universe of expansion

you alaap and scat
……………………. of tongue and throat

come seed me

……………….. my ground I’ve prepared
……………………………… ready for divinity

make day of my night
revolution in my field

come burn

……………. fallow grass

…………………………. and mustard alike

and I will string your each flame

……………………………………………. about my neck

until you flare into me

…………………. and I like you burn

……………………………………………. beyond recognition
