Arithmetic

I was not good at arithmetic.
At most I counted to ten.
Living with debt for decades,
I wandered into the church or in the narthex
watching the saints who protected me

Now easily surpass the hundred
Check often beyond 'the two hundred
And sometimes I come where no one dares,
and will 'overflow zero, frost, wind
and lots of other things.

Maybe that 'why I devoutly
I watch at night and beg the moon.
Among all the other tests diriment
light, for me there is none 'no
which is still standing, but her.
