lyrics

Specific Goddess

You'd better pray
that praying works
and through these words
transcend them.

You'd better pray
that you affirm
my grave concerns
and I am not offended.

You'd better pray
for clear blue skies,
clement and dry,
without precipitation.

You'd better pray
for better or worse
life is no curse
nor incantation.

You'd better prey
on the old and weak
with charm and cheek
Oh prodigal child.

You'd better pray
that god is good
and time, like blood,
can be beguiled.

You'd better pray,
you'd better hunt,
control, confront
your inner vices.

You'd better stay
thy fervent hand
oh sacred man,
corroborate your crisis.

This is the prayer
or dearest wish
that feels as if
you meant it.

So clasp your hands
and cast your thoughts,
both forged and wrought,
chance and choice fomented.

I am the one
you choose to dream,
called but not seen,
your specific Goddess.

You'd better pray
my noble friend
that the dreams I send
aren't worthless.
