For National Poetry Month, I'm posting about poetic tabs open on my desktop, or about other shards I've collected recently. This poem has been hanging around for a while.

Every day, imagining what may be going on with people is something I wish everyone did. Love this thoughtful poem, Ruth. "down "there where the spirit meets the bone" is just the right punch for ending.
A) I love this poem and B) Miller Williams has such an interesting bio! Thanks, Ruth xo
