prayer is meant to make
a monogamist lover
do you understand how crucial
it for us to be reminded
not every sunday or sabbath
yet five times in a day
i bend forward
to the light in you
to all of you
i love you as you are
no need for us
to bend backwards
this love is healthy
i submit to love
in prostration
fully
i sit still in presence
with my beloved
when i stand
my gaze downcast
i seek our glance
waking me out of slumber
my index arises
i bear testimony
to love
our sacred love
this one love
lest my attention diverts
from my sun
i am reminded by the caller
come to thy beloved
this prayer is home
