“A Midnight Psalm” by Jaria Gordon

as i lay me
down to sleep
i pray my legs
won’t spread my grief
into a roaming field he’ll lay
to desecrate and soil beneath

the mourning comes
with weeping grace
i the sheep pasture-flung
desperation tousled sheets
trying to belt
last night unsung

with honey bourbon
corn flakes and dry heaves
i notch his belt, he unties my feet
and i pray the lord
didn’t see me hung
from bed post sacrificially

a naked beast
drunkenly hungering along
alive but asleep and as i wake
if i do wake
i pray my soul
he won’t forsake

    I was curious if you ever thought of changing the structure of your blog?

    Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
    But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.
    Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or 2 images.
    Maybe you could space it out better?
