It’s the end of the month

and the end of the day

and feeling a need to post

one more poem

before July intrudes

and he embarks on a new way,

he considered the previous

two weeks’ traumas

and instead of rehashing,

rehearsing,

revisiting and retelling,

he decides simply to say

Kyrie,

Lord, Have Mercy,

Christ, Have Mercy,

Lord, Have Mercy,

and see you in the dawn

of a new July day.
