nest
today I’m wrapping all the things
I think people should do
in soft crushed velvet
putting those thoughts to bed
where they can rest quiet
and they don’t require
the least little thing
no energy at all
today I’m embracing all the things
people will do
all the thoughtful little miracles like
saving the comics
cutting up fruit
writing a card
making a drawing
rolling away stones
accepting ham
I don’t need to award any ribbons
I’ve no calling to judge
I’m ready for radical acceptance
okay maybe not ready but willing
to try to douse my doubts
today
