I'm sure about taking my time to get all my poems on here, huh? I think I have already explained that it's because I write them on napkins and matchbooks and in about 40 different spiral notebooks, so as I happen upon them, I try to muster the energy to include them. So, figure by like 2006, I should have about half here. I know you are all waiting with baited breathe. Ha.

Lord, won't somebody teach me how to indent?

The One

Like the winding Ganges

to a Hindu,
an object of devotion
wherever it passes;
Like the purity of a princess
to an old King,
the very pearl of his realm
the future;
Like the proper name of God
to the temple of Solomon,
only pronounced once a year
in the Innermost Chamber;
You, to me, are sacred.
