disproven

unedit this 
un
poetic thing, try to

make it worse, unpolished--
unpretentious tihsllub on the page--

unintentionally naked, soul-baring, honest.
you cannot be something you intended, for
once you start out, you'll never get
to the end.

I wonder why things
have to be so difficult, so stiff, so guarded;
all
I asked was for an unassuming prayer to you--
don't know who I'm talking to.

I'll try again tomorrow, when
everything is new and the dry strands of grass push up
into the sky again, determined
to prove they are alive.
