Litany for a Minor Character

Erin McKeown

For you who never lied to me
For you who began with buyer beware to me

LORD HEAR OUR PRAYER

For you my conspirator
You who only you knew my nom de guerre
Call me by my secret cares

LORD HEAR OUR PRAYER

For the pair of us , walking, arms twist tight
Seaside nights in that gay town square
For you who broke my heart before i was aware
I swear
But there you were so rare
With your blue eyes and blonde hair

LORD HEAR OUR PRAYER

For before second best was too much to bear
Rearranging deck chairs on that sinking bedstead
For when i was finally awake did i dare

LORD HEAR OUR PRAYER

For the blankness of your stare
For how i couldn’t get beneath some layer
Scared me shitless that i could care this much

LORD HEAR OUR PRAYER

For all that millionaire solitaire laissez fair
This price of repair
For all the writers who fucked me
Thinking they’d write something they’d get lucky
For me, the first to strike, now does it feel fair?

LORD HEAR OUR PRAYER

For the world is a wheel
For the wheel is a world
A wheel in a world in the middle of the air

LORD HEAR OUR PRAYER

For all this mess this blessing will you grant us
For all this struggle
All this
For someone so brief a narrator
Mercy for that minor character

LORD I SEND THIS PRAYER
LORD I SEND THIS PRAYER
LORD HEAR OUR PRAYER
