Quarantine

I've heard rumours about this prayer
It requires an ugly cry,
bended knees and an abyss
A brutal empitness

So you can write from scratch 
What black love you'd like to attract
In big bold letters, vocalise your wishes
Italicise your dreams and actively menifest
The tenderness of soft love
Underline it with sentimentality
Drizzle divinity on its descriptions
From start to finish, devil the detail

Do you wish days to start with forehead kisses
That elicit ear to ear giggles?
To what degree celius should their hugs be?
Speak the length of each hair follicle 
And what octave you desire the tone in their speech be?
How many fingers should they have 
When they point at your heart as their fortress?

I've heard rumours about this prayer. 
It requires an ugly cry
bended knees and an abyss
A brutal empitness.
