them prayers...

these prayers...
these indecent prayers...
you know, the
kind that
don't
exactly fit the format
that you feel
they should.
these prayers...
these indecent prayers...
these louder than
life prayers
that sound
each time I wake up...
sound...
each moment I walk...
sound...
each time footstep proceeds footstep...
these prayers...

i
prayed these prayers...
these indecent prayers...
these loud and
non-monochronistic
prayers...
in the language of
a life struggling
to find its source.
these prayers...
my prayers...
my, indecent prayers...
un-prayed in
the usual verbal format...
that usual dry
and near-dying tone...
my life be them prayers, my prayers...
those unspoken prayers...
indecent in their
approach...
them prayers,
my prayers...takin' long, track-runners' legs
to walk along side you
and release their
utterance...them prayers,
my prayers...
the ones you
stare at
with contempt and sometimes
non-comprehension...
them prayers....
yup, my prayers....
those prayers...
those indecent prayers;
not of words-prayers....but
the invoking through everyday motion-prayers...
them my prayers...
prayed, prayed, prayed and prayed some mo'
prayed loudly,
prayed louder,
prayed loudest,
prayed with manners-but
most times prayed in an uncouth fashion...them
belligerent prayers...
those down-right wounded, sometimes diluted
prayers...
you know....THEM prayers.....
prayers in motion and
never prayers in words...
them prayers...
my prayers....
the ones...
that never made sense to you...
but i understood them
well...them prayers...
the ones that
you quickly brushed aside....
but the ones
that HE gathered to himself...the
ones...that blew life into...
blowing answers and...and...and....
that restored sense of stability....you know, in
them prayers...
those indecent prayers...
my prayers...
those prayers not of words...
but prayers of
movement...
motion...them prayers for purpose...
them prayers for...
identity...
them prayers for wholeness...
them prayers for you...
them prayers for me...
them prayers...
those prayers...
of non-consequence to you...
those prayers...
that sing my reality....

...them prayers...
