I have scaffolding for sky— choirs of carpenters. Desecrated doorways. Smell of **** and peanuts. The hallelujah of halal carts. Psalm of salsa. A bodega bagel’s benediction. My cigarette’s sanctity— coffee’s communion— steam rising— seraphim on a saxophone note— Kneeling in the gutter, I hear the city sing— My window, my forest— my love.

A Prayer of **** and Peanuts
I have scaffolding for sky— choirs of carpenters. Desecrated doorways. Smell of **** and peanuts. The hallelujah of halal carts. Psalm of salsa. A bodega bagel’s benediction. My cigarette’s sanctity— coffee’s communion— steam rising— seraphim on a saxophone note— Kneeling in the gutter, I hear the city sing— My window, my forest— my love.
