​Being Liturgical

Means you repeat phrases without expectation
Of being heard. "Who heals the sick."

Not healing as such, but ameliorating, mitigating.

Mitigates, stays open. "Representative."

Pay attention to the choices, which have recently changed.

"Who brings forth bread
From the earth." I say that

And this focaccia hears me, the salt grainy below my finger

As I chew and ask for healing, for ameliorating.
"who feeds all." "Happy are those who dwell."

I dwell and call, I say and say and wait.
