a prayer for daily bread.

I do not ask

for some future bread.

I do not ask

for some lofty thing.

 

I ask for nothing more

I ask for nothing less

than primal provision.

For this, and this—only this.

 

I do not ask for then.

I do not ask for there.

I do not ask for that.

only this meal—this moment.

 

for this day, only

for this, and this—only this.
