no religious fervour
no down on knees
no hands joined together



just talking to Him
as he He were
really there



marching around
her bedroom
as if



He were Her
new best
imaginary friend



"Now...I'm tired
and I know You
must be tired too



I'm sure
You must have a trillion
prayers to get through



so I'n going
to live in my dreams
come visit me there


oh by the way
I am the Tilly
with the blonde hair.


not the Tilly
down the road at No. 2
she's got black hair


oh & I'm 3
and she's nearly 7
so don't get us mixed up


well...that's all
from me God
see ya soon


and look
after Yourself

She’s got a face like a renaissance painting
The voice of an angel
And the demeanor of royalty
And she will haunt your every step
For the rest of your life

the pain you cannot surrender
in exchange for forever
"to know the pain of too much tenderness. To be wounded by your own understanding of love."

The sky lit up different
shades of pink and purple,
yellow and orange.
I could hear the stars singing
that every little thing
is going to be alright.

So instead of folding; I am
sitting in front of my fireplace
with a gin and coke,
listening to music I’ve been
avoiding.

Some day I won’t be sad anymore.
Right?
To be alive
Is to be adrift.

To fight the sea
Is to know futility.
