sometimes
i pray for you
not to god,
but to all
the dead poets
we love,
they are all
pretentious pushpin
ghosts, gapping out
of skin
and turning around
to devour,
rumi always asks for me
to listen, and i see
why i pray in the first place
not for your salvation,
but so you can blossom
into the warrior
i know you are
