firefighter's prayer by david cochrane
our training took place on stairs
in a brick-built tower leading nowhere
with glassless windows issuing false smoke
the concrete crumbling to fine dust
with the incessant passage of rubber booted feet
sweltering equipment to the scene of some imagined fire.
hours over years spent on such stairs
the action of climbing them so grained into my mind
that the flutter of fear seems superficial by comparison.
and this tuesday morning
in my heavy gear and helmet
stairs lined by the subdued and stunned
elegant in morning pressed clothes and fresh deodorant
eyes eloquent in their despair for me
they shuffle down as i lumber sweating up
each stair the rhythm of my mantra
ah jesus,
ah jesus,
ah jesus,
ah
