rosary pleads

poetry
Written By Chase Klavon

— a poem by chase klavon

papa prays for me and my mind

limoncello on his breath

papa prays for me and my mind

eyes wide open

papa prays for me and my mind

he is loud he is a loud loud man

papa prays for me and my mind

fingers crossed

papa prays for me and my mind

rosary beads tied around his neck

papa prays for me and my mind

in the bathroom at work

he says it’s because mama wouldn’t be proud of him if she knew he believed in god

papa prays for me and my mind

because i asked him to- 

i am out of options
