How to Pray

Fervently I desire to be
some other's fixed
star, a true north
a fellow animal can't lose.

May I be
Ariadne's thread
wound through twists
and turns.  Ahead,

See a stone
corner.  Black streaks --
old water leaks --
mark it.  Dust

Is the only friend
expected.  Find me
just one more step
beyond.  The light

I seek to shine
will seem like the sun
glowing through alabaster.  White
is my quiet cloth.
