The thing about saying grace is that anyone can  say  them-anyone.

I’ve learned prayers

to protect me from the dead

to chase away evil

to forgive my sins.

I’ve said grace

over meals

before journeys

 before I  fall asleep.

 

I sang those  prayers

raged those prayers

obediently

past gritted teeth

through my darkness

every single day.

 

So who will stand over me

after I’ve died

and ask that I sleep

forever

God let it be

forever

will they prey that I do not rise

and that I never walk again.
