Anna Freer

after (for) maurice manning

I want to write
you a love song God
God knows you hear
enough of them but mine
mine I want to put
the right chords in the right
mouths I want
to say to you
the street cleaners are washing the city
like you wash the river with rain God
does the river ever wonder
if you’re washing it or feeding it
or giving it back
to itself again sometimes I wonder why
you make the clouds God to wash the river
or to hide the sunrise do you
keep the sunrise for yourself God
do you watch us
search for you as it still peeks through
