Inspired by Simone Weil
O Lord I pray for an end to prayer
an end to this clearing of the throat
through early morning hours
my tries my inarticulate cries
dear friend for your attention
O you who never cease to look my way
I pray for an end to this interlude
my afternoon intercessions
here in this universe this subtraction
from your irreducible infinitude
O Lord I pray for an end to my
despair each evening with closed eyes
an end to this dividing wall dividing us
to my tapping & rapping upon it
an end to prayer
