I pray and I pray and I pray.

I stumble to the bus, weary eyed
when I first see her
and then, awake
I watch her wind-caught hair fly
tip my head back to stare at the sky

I pray and I pray

Aphrodite, for the queer delight of the moment
Demeter, for the flower in her hair
Artemis, for the bare moon in the day sky
Athena, for the wisdom to try
Hestia, for warmth of my hearts hearth

I pray

because I want
fingers twined, Aphrodite
grass under our sleepy heads, Demeter
a night sky of stars and silver to light our way, Artemis
my hand-made shawl on her shoulders, Athena
a home not mine alone, Hestia

I pray and I pray and I pray
