Blueberries in January

the blueberries are good for 

January, I'll admit

piled on your plate watching 

with baited breath pancakes 

as a form of prayer


I did drag you out of bed for this mass

didn't I 

as if scrambled eggs

could make any difference


I am wrong to mock breakfast 

as salvation on this morning 

of the third day you 

rose again proclaimed the gospel

                                                        I remember there is warmth in the world

asking

again this time not

for another plate of communion


but for methadone.


I would have brought you the moon if you had asked.
