epiphany

best of rumpled nose

talking down, down, until the rumpled nose

loses sight

(as if a nose could see)

be my guest

and rub some of that

clan-sanitizer into your hands

claw-fork

claw-foot

claw-hand hands

reach out and claw your way -

claw and cleanse and clear and clay

but I want to say pray

for you want to pray

sanitized claw

sanitizer holy

sanitized soul sanitizer belly

fold your hands and prey

reach out and claw

to claw and lose sight

(as if a nose could see)

claw the holy

claw your way

rumpled nose and run-on holy

clan-sanitizer

sanitized belly

hard-scrabble sacred and praying like dust

hold that

claw-fork

claw-foot

claw-hand hands

and pray like rust

pray

pray

pray

for the holy breaks in and the holy breaks out

and all the world can see

rumpled nose and claw-fork hands

reached out and clawing 

dust-cake skies
