Birth Day

This is my confession from across the room:
this day is growing long, and I’ve been prone stray
from empty hands, lifted up, stretched towards mine.
I’m not a boy, but far from the man I should be;
my mouth is prone to move, but my tongue is sitting by idly

Be still my soul, he’s on your side –
bear patiently, his breath remains
around and everywhere you are.

I see things right-side up – take my eyes,
turn them both upside-down. Take this dress and veil
for they are no more than filthy rags. You see
things that are not as though they are, and then
they are because you are. Teach me to forgive
everything, everyone, all the time

Be still my soul, he’s on your side –
bear patiently, his breath remains
around and everywhere you are.
