~
my rosary, a 3b pencil
rolled slowly between my
thumb and forefinger,
four inches long its
size does matter,
needing to fit my palm,
mindlessly I count off poems
a form of giving thanks
whilst always expecting
further inspiration,
I believe poets should give
praise, be it to their god
or to a dedicated muse,
a gentle supplication
to feed their hunger.
