THROW ME A SIEVE
throw me a sieve
teach me to use it
that I may know wheat
that I may know chaff.
fill my vessel
with abundant wisdom
and the strength it takes
to hold and to let go
for if this temple of mine
is torn apart
by the conflicting muses
that intertwine within it,
then I am of all men
most miserable indeed.
please, throw me a sieve
teach me to use it.
that I may find deliverance
and all the goodness it takes
to be alive and well.
