Trickster, come and teach me
How to take a joke.
I bit off more than I could chew
But didn’t think I’d choke.
Lover, come and cure me
Of this never-ending ache.
Everything since you left me
Has come to seem so fake.
Savior, come forgive me
Before I lose all hope.
Tell me where I should be
If not hanging from a rope.
Shadow, come and show me
How the day gives way to night.
Let me rest so that I might
Have strength enough to fight.
