Prayer

I wish I could
just wish.
I wish I remembered
how it was when I was small.

Make me good.
How much better could I be?

Even though I did hide
Mum's best shoes
behind the chicken hutch.

Forgive me my trespasses.

And I did want white knee socks
instead of our daily bread.
Or peace, or stuff like that.
