Deal-Making with the Lord
(sigh, didn’t work for Moses)
x
Lord,
The stomach feels
So tight
I’d like relief
Though
Really
At the source
x
All my troubles
I can’t escape
Them
Though I could
Escape a few
x
And is
Escape the answer?
Probably not
(worse the
luck)
I imagine there is
Something
By the way of
Resolution
x
But some things,
I think,
Can simply
Be made better
Call it grace or
Miracle
Or one side
Of a pledge
x
Please, Lord,
Ease
The pain
Give me days
Without
The consequences
I’ll work
On the rest,
I promise
