Night Prayers
Again tonight, like a child,
I lie early beside my wife
Muttering prayer lines
Of innocence.
Not that I am unaware
Of the wild wild things
That happen at night
I just do not want
Any of them again.
Again tonight, like a child,
I lay beside my wife
Muttering prayer lines
Of protection.
