This morning (Thursday) I'm going back to work after an Easter break that got extended an extra day by Eid being a day later than the calendar said.
Here's a poem that's been open on my desktop for a long time.
Origin Story
by Leah Naomi Green
"What is dying is the willingness to be in denial." angel Kyodo williams
The heron flew away
and I wanted to tell someone
how long it stayed,
how close I got,
how much I missed it
even as it stood
to watch me,
large-eyed animal
that I am, terrible
at believing what I can't see.
Here's the rest. This poem won the 2019 Walt Whitman Award.
