Devotions To An Empty God

 


Demands to be turned on
early every morning
wants you to play
their every key
Sit close
let the light
invade every neuron
Don't look away
every detail 
must be addressed
be handled
Expected to put more in
than originally requested
On and on
hunched over
neck bent
Until darkness 
lights out
bed alone
unconscious
dreaming
of doing it all again
when morning comes
