Prayers #2

Standing beneath Echo BridgeI howl obscenities into the ether,hoping to crack a slither into a parallel universe, reverse lifebefore those wicked ways. Hard to swallow but yes there was a time when I didn’t actout for so much attention.Sat in lace dresses on pewsand begged for forgivenessof crimes I wasn’t even sure I committed. How can I confess every sinwhen they are also the responsibility of the boy who threw me into thatwell of my mind until I could scratchmy way to the surface, knuckles so swollenI required amputation at the wrist.About:
