Listen to poem:
Pray For Us Sinners Mary
Pray for us Sinners Mother Mary
David J Walker
The best lies are wasted on
The oldest sleeping priest seated
In the confessional
As paid-for candles are
Blown out in the
Wind of an opened door
The sins omitted are represented
And reserved for a weekday night
recommitted out of sight
Of the shuttered stained-glass windows
The liturgy turned to an elegy
Seemingly with me in mind
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners
again
and again
