Prayer on the Six P.M. Subway
by Daniel BerriganOriginal Language English
unsteady
my prayer mounts or falls why do I
waste so want so
O make room
in the kingdom of light for lack lusters
among the austere and severe
for malfunctioning men
only this to their credit NO GREAT HARM DONE
only passage writes
MAYBE on water
nevertheless
might make it yet
who knows who knows
whether some hour
turns us on
unbelievable
as Christ's new somersaulting
start his words his heart
