Early Morning Hunger

day release in commingled rehearsal
and the subsequent prices
for the gallant seasons of matrimony
and told-off spirits, the ghosts
belonging to God – Her right hand
hungry for the betrayal of subsequent notices
and educational elements, like coffee
and seasoned winters
not ever with the manners adroit
like scissors for palm brokers
just the tender gift of song
is all She ask for
and all She has to give
