The thing about saying grace is that anyone can do it-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
even the one I take before I sleep.
I sang those words
raged those words
obediently
past gritted teeth
through my darkness
ever single day.
So who will stand over me
after I’ve died
and ask that I sleep
forever
God let it be
forever
and that I never walk again.
