They are not real
But they don’t have to be
They can’t be found
On fragile paper
In a prized, hallowed book
Oozed from a pen tip
Or recited to a faithful scribe
They are rarely recited
But brought forth
With the wild lonely beat
Of a Broken Heart
Pierced together
By a glue that
Never secures
And They
Are more real
Than any encounter
Ever Experienced
Prayer Placebos
PLACEBIC PRAYERS
Not prayed from a heart
Or spoken with a mouth
Heard by an ear
Or gently
Securely transferred by a Touch
Encapsulated in a pill
But known
Assuredly known
By a soul
E A C H
Placebo Prayers
are not real—
They’re better
