Our Father

Our Father 
The road is slippery
Black ice
Seemingly at one with the surface
Black ice on a black road  
On a black night
Don’t make
Wrong or right

White clouds 
As white as cotton
White clouds
In a black sky
Black ice on a black road
On a black night 
Don’t make
Wrong or right 

No way to plow it 
Or salt it
Or need to change it
All is one
          In heaven
          Hallowed be your name
Your kingdom come
Your will be done

On earth 
As it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our debts
As we also have forgiven our debtors
And lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil.
Amen
