Prayer

Let harm, harm me
and fire burn me
Let the cold of your absence
freeze me and your verse
curse me.
Let the empty air I breathe
hold only the fragrance of your name
Let the image that forms itself
forlornly in my soul be eternal.
Let my body be the place where
yours, eventually,
will find the relief I so much need.
