What Prayer Is: A Poem

I've been reading A Scripture of Leaves, Stafford's only poetry collection published by Brethren Press. I wrote this poem after reading "To You Around Me," and "An Offering."

UPDATE October, 31 2006: I submitted the poem to Alba: A Journal of Short Poetry. If it is published, I will link to it here.

UPDATE January 12, 2007: The poem has been published in Issue 14, January 2007 of Alba. Read it here.
