Gentle, Witness

by Pat Darnell

Please witness
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

Be my very own...

... gentle witness
