PRAYER

I left my daughter alone

like a sheep

left alone

with a pacing moon.

I walked the mile to my hotel

from her college room

with barbed wire stretched

through my back.

I lay in my bed,

an old shepherd

exhausted with tending,

stomach sick with the taste

of bad water.

Even through thick walls

I could hear the howling

deep inside her head,

see her shy reflection

in the water.

She huddled alone in moon shadow

against the stares of her own eyes,

pitiless and knife-toothed.
