Prayerless

Prayerless      
                               
my hands tremble

afternoon light teases the oregano

in the kitchen window 

something survives here anyway

as I disintegrate with random entropy

my fault my fault my

fault lines shift silent tears

run down her cheeks eyes hard

my fault my fault my child

core of my being shivering

begging to fall into a black hole

in her pajamas my baby my life

creation of my XX, your flawed XY

on the edge of our familial singularity

no logarithm can save us from

this spiral no blessing no

prayer of Fibonacci numbers

chanted in sacred precision

null set sunshine nothing no

thing left but cuban oregano

claiming the light
