Next Time I’ll Bring a Towel
How many times have I truncated a prayer
because dormant feelings oozed out and suddenly I must
grab some tissue for my gushing eyes and sodden nose—
and then have to get up
Again
to replace my saturated tissue?
Because somehow, praying opens those floodgates
And somehow,
under these circumstances,
nasal and optical factories are profuse
and my chest is heaving
pulling hard, inwardly and down
to meet my twisted belly and up
to meet my crumpled face
Hoh [sound of spiritaches]
All I wanted to do was talk to God
share some things, get clarity direction connection
And all this came out.
Again.
So, as I was saying…
5.2.13
