mathematician's prayer

correct us, oh creator, within our lives,
with your measured overlooking presence.
the leaves have fixed themselves in the world intact,
trees towering as the graveyard fills,
souls adapted to so little space.
the turned-out spirit perceives everything,
intensified limbs, cells,
mutable representations,
that old succession of species,
everything numbered by laws.
