I pray a double portion of spirit
and again another
for the days are long
and the nights
drenched with tears
too many mothers
weeping
too many men
raging
and spirit is needed
to keep my ears open, my eyes
unblinded, my heart
broken
A double portion I pray
for the spirit
to speak truth
double again
to live into
love’s impossibility
and hope’s imagination
