Knees

Posted in Poetry

Sometimes,

all at once,

I get down on my knees.

I could be half way through an unrelated thought,

perhaps wondering why I run out of spoons

so quickly, or

remembering the forest at the farm,

when I drop, and

raise my hands to clasp in front,

then pray that none of this is meaningless,

that I am not ignored,

forgotten,

as my torment suggests.

If this recent slurry of

challenge, and suffering,

rib-cracking loneliness,

is fruitful,

planting so much knowing, so much

wisdom for harvest,

then I am in.

Okay.

But sometimes,

often,

I am

Unsure.
