Day 306: Slow Work

---

a prayer for those who build…

∴

slow work

gentle toil

smooth my splintered grain

 

soft erode

my deadly edge

with tender drops of rain

 

i can feel my surface changing.

 

let me be

in centuries

and sip upon the years

 

filled with cups

of sweetness

and chalices of tears.

 

let alterations

alter

like the coming on of age

 

and gently wrinkle

all my skins;

conform this fleshy cage.

∴
