my rosary is a 3b pencil

rolled slowly between my

thumb and forefinger,

only four inches long its

size really does matter,

it needs to fit my palm,

I mindlessly count off poems

as a form of giving thanks

whilst always expecting

further inspiration,

poets should give praise

be it to their god or their

dedicated muse,

a gentle supplication

to feed their hunger
