Daily Prayers

Posted on October 1, 2022October 1, 2022 by towerpoems
I don't know what to say to
you anymore; don't feel you
there to say anything to–
remove myself from the place
I say your name as if it is
a prayer; not for fealty, but
peace between us, which
seems to mean losing
touch with you altogether
in this instance.

But I remember wanting
to love you and can't
discount it, so I won't– you
are beautiful and kept in
sight if only to recall the
way god visited that day
with a precious reverence–
a promise of more than I
could ever dream as possible;
could hold or run through
like a discount pack of
stale Ritz crackers, which
is how you make me feel.
I still believe in you and
not because I have to;
is there circumstance
allowing you to miss me
for something more than
blow jobs–? I possess
beyond the mould I cast
to, certain, please you–
revel in my sound of

mind and stolid self
possession: reach for
hands you know
caress your head just
like a ripened
apple; arrive in time
to hold my hair at the
nape of my neck, stroking
my face; the sunrise.
