(Go back &) Squeeze them dry


Oh, Lord -
let us - somehow - lay our hands back
on those missed moments, unused hours,
misused days, quarter-used weeks,
overlooked months, dormant years
(and on the ramblers we met, half-asleep)  -
so that we may squeeze them dry 
and finally wipe off
the Attorney's hellish smirk -
for your greater glory
and our calm nights.
