O Supplicant!

O Supplicant, sweet supplicant!

What can one do for you?

What do you want the universe

to change? Will it come through?

.

A yellow light is dawning now –

are miracles aborning

at last to offer what you crave?

No, happens every morning,

.

you say, as if the morning weren’t

anything to care for.

The sun goes up, the sun goes down –

that isn’t what you’re there for.

.

Perhaps this afternoon, let’s say,

At four o’clock, at tea,

some god will make a visit: show

you all you want to see.

.

What are you holding back, dear?

Are you secretly in love

with not receiving anything

from any god above?

.

Perhaps you’ve never not had

what you want: and must concede

you’ve long been what you burn to be:

a paragon of Need.
