MY PRAYER

By now, I've said 
your name out loud 

so many times
that it's done 
meaning everything 

which I seemed 
to seek salvation from,

gone long-past the sound 
of cooed gibberish 

whose infantile 
pleasures I 
barely can recall, and 

with no small 
aplomb, has arrived 
as a stand-in 

for any old 
thought I could think 
at all.
