the prayer

Our God,
(the one in heaven)

my name is sacred, too.
kingdoms come and kingdoms go;
the Wills are always getting contested,
so our bread goes to the birds
who legally cannot trespass
at all,
anywhere.

anyway,

I forget the rest but I remember hearing
you slept when your friends were afraid
and then they slept when you were,
so if nothing else, at least
I hope you say my name
in your sleep.

amen.
