I don’t care what I write tonight,
just that I do,
which I know,
sort of sounds like
I’m saying yes to a marriage
I don’t really believe in
and I’d be lying if I said writing for me
wasn’t like that sometimes,
full of the kind of doubt
that feels around in the dark
for a way into happiness
into where the real light,
the one that can’t be seen
inside the one that can’t be seen,
is you, praying yourself on.
