Gentle, Witness
by Pat Darnell
some folks ...with-holdin' say
I'm calvinist
before most, and
most forebode'in
i pout 'n think i
should miss my lips full
pleasure for what kind
soul should kiss my lips
upon end of my
spirit's full measure

try hard to find me
in bower where i
hide and summon me

as i sink sour...
... inside
see just out yonder
there is that huge man
see him my blunder
will too you cover
him in sand as if
he were your plunder

wake me tomorrow
if you insist, or
if it is Easter
press me on morrow
with gentle kiss, and
be my very own
gentle witness
