BOOK OF LONGING

in the book i'm reading
the poems sound like prayers
and are interspersed 
between line drawings
of naked women and
simple self-portraits. 
in my mini-van
this morning, i sang 
several choruses of 
hallejuiah, the notes
soothing, but off-key. 
Outside, the sky 
was lavender
and the moon, as it sank,
was a bright 
silver coin in the east.
