lenten journal: the grace of never mind
the grace of never mind
the oceans are rising
the sky is falling
I am careening through
an obstacle course
of obligations and
overdue whatevers
I have unread e-mail
unanswered notifications
unwashed laundry
and unmade recipes
everything’s important
and requires my attention
then there’s ukraine
and war and washington
have you seen today’s headline
I’m not sure I want to
but the guns and the walls
and injustice rolling down
I need to fill up the tank
and answer some texts
get ready for tomorrow
remember . . . something
it’s a lot to ask, I know, but
can we go for a walk?
Peace,
Milton
Milton, I don’t know which I like more:your prose or your poetry. Thank you for this.
Bless you, Milton. I totally get it! Breathe!!!!
