Psalmist Strain

Leafy prayer stems
roll wet streets hoarding light

Petitions puffed by day
billows beg in the night

The smoke assassinates
the reign of the eye

Each tucked word
is inhaled out of sight

Bleating tributaries
fan out stuttered supplications

My dealer forays
to new products and puns

Windows pardon puffs
jailed in sills

My adverb addiction
is paid with blessed bills
