Poem 13: A Prayer for Numbness

May I feel the breeze in my face

And the sun on my neck.

May I see every leaf on every tree,

Every petal on every flower.

May I taste the flour and yeast

In every bite of bread -

And may I know the many hands

That labored its creation.

May I hear

The tapping rain

And rushing river

In every sip of water

I drink,

In every shower

And washing of hands.

May I laugh,

May I cry,

May I share the love and hurt

Of those around me.

May I stay awake to the world,

And have the strength to bear it.

#This was one of the two I was most proud of #The others I'll have to tweak #owl ops #owl writes #August poems #A secular prayer I guess but what does secular mean

Poem 27: Heartache

When I tell you

"my heart ached"

I want you to imagine it being

filled with the warmth of a forest fire

and squeezed

like a mouse in a python's grip -

I had to cross my hands over my chest

and close my eyes

to keep from being devoured

#owl writes #owl ops #August poems #this was originally slightly longer but I only really liked the last few lines #something something gay yearning
