Starkly Sunward




Irreverent of the nerve

to wake another day


Of the focused arrows


descending like rain



Irreverent of the lies


meant to waylay


Of spilled bloods'


deep red stain



Irreverent of the good and the bad 


Of what cannot stand the light of day


Of what we do and do not have 


Of the fate for whom we pray



This and everyday,


but never more irreverent 


than today.



- Peter Riordan
