Letters: no other god worth asking

 

no other god worth asking

grace let me learn to articulate me.
let me grace listen. grace let me rest.

let me walk here as long as i can southern sun,
mothertouch, grace to my weary left eye.

grace if not stone let me river the valley
i laid in to let me let grief like a friend.

let me be free grace from loathing, addiction,
free from fury, fear, obstinance, death of despair.

grace let me know ancestor forever, forgive
what i’ve failed to understand.

let me grace listen. grace let me mountain.
grace let a world with a name like you.
