chagall backdrop

I can tell how well I’m doing
by the fervor in my prayer

desperate, calm
succinct or droning
drowning or afloat

to plead for joy
or wealth

maybe a stretch
to try for both
together
in a single sitting

depends on
who would listen

to gain
or to keep
to hold on to

fearful
to lose it all

so you go click
your heels
three times

I will stick
with the old school

trinity
divinity
infinity
